Malady's Edge

Fortuna Sanctuary

## **Overview**

Home of runaways, pilgrims and the banished, the dragons that live in the cult of Malady's edge welcome those that are outcasts from their clans or flights. They find beauty in all that is the rot, and celebrate mutations as gifts of the Plaguebringer. They have friendly ties with several clans, and helped co-found The Veins of Sornieth Rail System. They are lead by the tundra dragon Tangwen, and his mate a mirror with the gift of farsight by the name of Genen. Through his leadership and her visions, the clan prospers.

The clan is rather reclusive most of the time, rarely reaching out unless it is to create or maintain trade relations. This doesn't mean they are not ones to aid their allies, quiet the contrary, they will do everything in their power to help those they have declared allied with them. The are furiously loyal and honour their agreements, but its a two way street, and betrayal will be met with swift and brutal retaliation.

## The founding

Originally, the founders of the clan came from two very different environments. Genen came from a clan composed solely of wildclaws and mirrors that subscribed to the ideal of only the strong were worthy of survival, and do too her disagreements and tendency to stare off into space resulted in genen being declared weak. She left, following visions that led her to the border of Tangwen's clan. His clan believed in acceptance and that survival is a collective effort. After a while, Tangwen left with Genen. They wandered the wastes for a while before finding what they thought was a smallish cave. Over time they attracted a few other dragons and they founded Malady's edge.

The first to join was Whiskey, an intimidating wildclaw with protective streak wider than the southern ice fields, and immediately bonded with tangwen over their natural inclinations to defend those they love. Whiskey was soon followed by a fae named Gloom and an imperial named Apophyllite, their talents with magic
