Hivewings

Hivewings are a wide spread tribe with three provinces- Western Province, Eastern Province and Hive Capital. Their palace is a hive despite the Empress constantly telling them to build a “proper” palace. It is one of the heavily guarded palaces on the continent in case of surprise attacks.

Some stereotype them as the “smart tribe” because of their scientific knowledge and some dislike them because, well they aren’t loyal, and because of their seemingly counterintuitive beliefs.

### Accomplishments

They have created a better wheel- the wheels have tread pattern to help better grip terrain. Some expensive wagons also have lock technology on the wheels (it isn’t very strong atm and fail when combatted with steep hills and strong forces)

Created more durable weapons

Created the catapult and a wrist-rocket-like device (to better suit a dragon.

Founded a new, better numbering system

Found out the ocean and continents were part of a planet that was round. They got heavily prosecuted for this at first.

Found out their planet was orbiting the sun and not the other way around. (Silkwings stole all further ideas about the planet)

Created new sugar-based foods and funded a successful sugar trade.

Found easier ways to create scales.

Founded professions such as bee-keeping, sugar cane farms, and candy-making.

They invented a painkiller on accident early on in candy production. They work well and only 9 were produced.

### Culture

#### Western Province

WP (Western Province) have very prestigious schools and wellness in their towns. They seem to be doing fine in the war- especially being so close to the Sandwing’s second strongest fort, Fort Buthus. Ironically they are the poorest province.

They are the most protected of the three- and usually lifestyle includes joining the army or going into business.

#### Eastern Province

The least populated province due to it being so close to the Leafwings and the empire (despite it being across a strait)

The province usually has it’s towns near an oasis, watering-holes, rivers etc. Because of this, they have grown a liking to fish and usually trade it.

They live in a Savanna-like habitat and in the center is a small mountain range. This province is very technologically advanced.

Candied bugs on a stick is a popular delectable given on a Hivewing’s hatching day. It is customary to give the Hivewing the bug they’re named after.

#### The Capital

The richest province, The Capital. They get money for inventions and their popular sugar trade. They unfortunately lost money due to the war costs and trading interest decreasing.

They are pretty much equally as advanced as the Eastern Province.

Telescopes, textbooks, and rulers are popular household items.

It’s as if the sovereign wishes to ignore the fact that they’re in war and always host parties.

Buildings in the capital are stacked due to over population. The capital is far from small.

Royals tend to be chonk due to their sweets supply (thank my brother for this idea)

Jewelry is usually decorated with bugs.

In order to separate venomous Hivewings from normals ones, at birth a venomous dragonet has a permanent tattoo on their neck. They usually show a number of how many stingers/fangs they have (1-4 or 5).
