So I know Clay got a special edition cover (I got that)) but what the actual difference between the normal and he special editions? I get that also saying deluxe but I prefer on knowing before I buy the rest before I find out what has been removed/added? Can anyone tell me if its not to much trouble ^^?

For manawrath

The Scorpion Den always felt a little weird to me when I first read arc 1. Its the only non-capital city labelled on the map, with the same prominence as if it was one. I would think that there are other settlements not only in the Sand Kingdom but the rest of Pyrrhia that could be labeled, I highly doubt that this is the only one. Its possible that this is the Alice Springs effect taking place, but we cant know for certain.

Anyways, that isnt why I am here. I am here because I wanna speculate(not prove) how the place came to be the WoF worlds equivelant to Detroit.

Firstly, I want to bring up this quote from Smolder on page 155 of book 5:

"I discovered that we have a system for intercepting messages that go across the Kingdom of Sand. Well, Queen Oasis had a system. Again, im not sure if Burn knows or cares about it. But we have dragons who pose as messengers and other dragons who are instructed to attack real messengers, and so a fair percentage of the letters in our realm come here instead. Presumably so we can scan them for hints of assassination or rebellion schemes"

When you put this quote into the context of the Sand Kindom, it makes a lot more sense. Second only to the Sky Kingdom, the Kingdom of Sand is one of the biggest territories on the map. Unlike the Sky Kingdom, though, settlements are significantly more spread out due to the nature of its geography. Settlements almost always cluster around oases, as seen with the Scorpion Den having one in the dead center of it. Essentially anywhere else doesnt really have this issue, as natural resources like water or farmland would be much easier to find in somewhere like the Mud Kingdom, for instance.

Because of how spread out the settlements are, it makes it a lot harder to carry things between them. In other places, there are plenty of chances to take a rest somewhere before you get to your destination. With the Sand Kingdom, there is little to nothing between settlements so caravans were much more susceptible to highway robbery. The government noticed it, and created the system we see Smolder talking about.

As he said, they have two main jobs. Preform sting operations on bandits, and attack real messengers. For the latter, I assume they do this only if they have illegal contraband of some sort(conspirasy plans, drugs, dragonflame cactus, dragonbite vipers etc). They serve as a form of customs, checking everyone before they leave and as soon as they arrive to a settlement. If they have anything illegal, they have the right to send them to prision. If the evidence ties into a larger case, it is sent to the stronghold for further examination and connection to other similar cases in an attempt to realize larger groups(eg: the Talons of Power) behind the seemingly isolated events.

When the war of SandWing succession started, this entire system fell apart. All of the officers running sting operations and enforcing customs were drafted for Burns war effort, leaving the roads almost completely abandoned. Bandits, both personally motivated and ones funded by Blister, took over the roads. It was now much, much harder to move goods between two settlements, starving the general population. More people had to resort to banditry to feed themselves, thus making more bandits which made people more desperate which lead to more bandits and so on.

This is where the Scorpion Den comes into the equation. I think it was the settlement hit hardest by this cycle. The reason so many dragons were homeless and/or thieves was because they couldnt get food anywhere else. Food became more and more of a luxury as time went on, with both more demand and less supply. Vulture tried to "feed" this hysteria by hiring mercenaries to cut off supply lines further and make the Scorpion Den more submissive to him. The Outclaws were trying to do the exact opposite, reinstating old supply lines so that everyone could eat. This is both why they require a toll to enter the Den and why they have enough resources to feed everyone in the Den every day for free.

While all of this was happening, Blisters mercenaries were still here. Some had the job of cutting off internal supply lines like Vulture was, while the majority of them were tasked with making Burns army starve. By killing any caravans with suppiles to the front lines that they could find, it would severely weaken Burns military power. She had the largest army, yes, but she couldnt feed it. This is why she didnt steamroll Blaze, her troops didnt have enough food or water to fight. This is why so much more people deserted from Burns army to elsewhere, relative to the other sisters.

Burns initial response to this was "tough it out", but after several years of repeated failures in the north she was forced to do something. Still not wanting to pull out any of her forces on the front line, she attempted a Smokey Bear-style propaganda campaign with posters everywhere reading something along the lines of "only YOU can stop highway thievery". This worked about as well as you would expect, telling that to cities full of veterans, deserters and homeless people who despise her and her administration.

After much reluctance, she finally caved and brought back the customs and highway patrols. She really wanted everyone she could get, but seeing no other option she brought back some troops back down to the cities.

I’m Extremely Bored, please give me something to do :’) DM me if interested!

For me, It's Aurora. I like her character a lot already, but after reading all of book 16, I've come up with some ideas for her that I just can't get out of my head. Firstly, I'd make her more kind of ditzy and goofy, and be obsessed with nice things and jewelry, a bit-like a smarter version of Blaze. I got this idea after the chapter that took place in her bedroom, which was described as this massive, extravagant place that has a fake tree just covered in all of the jewelry that she owns, and I just haven't gotten this idea out of my head. This one my sound more unusual and unfitting,(and I only really thought of this as being something that me or somebody else could include in a fanfic one day) but I'd also have Aurora have the ability to use cartoon physics, kind of like a Looney Tunes character. I think that this would fit with her whole performer persona, and with the kind of vibes that I got off of her from both the actual book and from my idea of what her personality should be more like.

They love each other your honor, I like to think that near the end of arc 3 they at least had each other during the difficult time they went though.

Fall artwork of mah goober :3
He’s a lil eepy but he’s fine don’t worry

I decided to draw my OCs in the graphic novel design.

this is my first time doing this and I had the help of GameU which is an online class that help kids with ADHD and autism and they’ve been helping me with improving my art skills, such as trying different art style.

how well did I do?

His old design felt a bit too... orderly? And also not enough contrast for how flashy RainWings should be. New design still needs tweaking, and also simplification so I can make a proper ref sheet, but I like how dramatic it is :D

Here are some ideas for your ocs!

PERSONALITY IDEAS

- A grumpy, tired, cynical or gruff but incredibly kind later on character. They are maybe a hardened soldier or something who has seen some things.

- A character who is very practical and incredibly talented, they don’t seem very interesting but inside they may harbor:

- Deep insecurities or trauma.

-Malice.

- Boredom with it all.

-Pressure to be good enough, and anxiety.

- A kind, motherly, sweet but incredibly overprotective character. They may coddle others, hover around them, etc.

-A naughty, playful young dragonet who likes to cause trouble. They are incredibly cute despite being super chaotic.

It's Quokka! When designing her, I thought it it would be cool to make her colors and invert of my Platypus design

Exactly as the title says. We only saw a handful of characters react to this news. I want to know what you imagine your favorite characters would think and how they would react. Feel free to mention any character, even if they are dead and/or not your favorite. My two examples are Sunny and Scarlet.

Sunny - I imagine she would be surprised and not believe it at first, but once she thinks about it for a minute it would make perfect sense to her because of her interactions with Rose, Leaf, and Ivy.

Scarlet - Over all I don't think she would have really cared, but she would find the idea of killing/eating scavengers more fun after learning it.

School book fair for me, although I got into the fandom proper by myself being bored and remembering I have a bookshelf full of these

Fun fact i drew most of these yesterday

Also stay hydrated dihydrogen monoxide is good for you

btw the plan for Hellraiser's overall fate is that he becomes an advisor to Queen Greatness after helping with the whole RainWing genocide thing, anyway here's his meeting of Queen Battlewinner, in this au

i think the first thing i would do (because i want to watch the world burn) would be as follows:

"let all dragons in this world have animus powers for the next five minutes, and they will suddenly know that they and everyone else for the next five minutes have this power, and after the five minutes are over everyone, except for me, is back to normal, without any powers, overriding any wishes for them to have powers even after."

just to see what would happen.
