Rota Fortunae City

@clarusclan @majestyrising

(This will be updated as lore progresses)

Founded by the First Four: Cletius, Rum, Gradient, and Filigree Classified as a city state Rests upon a “plate” made of Earthen magic whose edges marks the boundaries of the City. It expands with the population and allows the city to move without problems Originally founded within the Abiding Boneyard; Currently located within the Shattered Plain City Proper symbol: A wagon wheel Outskirt symbol: A ram skull, a crow skull, and a hummingbird skull together Broken into 13 districts; shaped like a wagon wheel with one center district, eleven wedge districts, and one surrounding district Each district has a Councilor to represent them in the government and to manage the district. The City Proper (represented by the Bazaar) and the Outskirts are seen as the two major factions so they each have a leader and a councilor, individual wedge districts just have Councilors. Some districts have sub-district which do not have special councilors but are still recognized as different areas than the main district.

Descriptions of the districts under the cut

The Outskirt

A shantytown surrounding the City Proper on all sides. Buildings look thrown together but are surprisingly clean. There are no walls separating the Outskirts from Dragonhome and no walls between the City Proper and the Outskirts. Started the Civil War due to mistreatment from the City Proper.

Leader: Filigree

Councilor: Phillip

People Who Live Here Are Called: People of the Outskirt, POs

Job: Defense of the City, Educating Visitors about Laws and Customs, Home for POs

Important Locations: The Morgue, Sky Ship Port, The Pit

The Bazaar

The direct center district of the City Proper. Buildings are a mix of all of the architecture found in the City Proper. Visitors must stay (as in sleep) here during the duration of their visit. All embassies and state buildings are found here. The Marketplace, the biggest shopping center in the Full City, is located here.

Councilor: Theodore

People Who Live Here Are Called: Tourists

Job: Tourism, Holds the Central Government, Economic Center

Sub-District(s): The Marketplace

Specific Shops Located Here: The Teahouse, Blot and Dot Inc

The Aurora District

The northern most wedge district (think of it like a clock, this one is at 12). Buildings are like old Victorian greenhouses but the glass is magically treated so that it looks like clear glass and lets all light pass through but it does not show the interior of the building. All libraries, schools, and record keeping buildings are found here. Even at night this district is covered in light. Some say that many of the people who live there seem off, but that is just gossip...

Councilor: Lilith

People Who Live Here Are Called: Shimmers, Nightlights, Monsters

Job: Education, Keeping Records of Everything, Gossiping, Coverups

Sub-District(s): None

Specific Shops/Important Locations: The Crystal Mausoleum

The Nano District

The wedge district that would be at 1 or 2 on the clock. Buildings are mainly skyscrapers, but the non-skyscraper buildings are in a post-modern style. Nightclubs, research centers, video game development, and tech startups are found here. Basically nerd homeland during the day, party central at night.

Councilor: Phonoi

People Who Live Here Are Called: N/A (nobody actually lives here, they only work here)

Job: Scientific Research, Technology Development, Raving/Partying

Sub-District(s): None

The Vein District

On a clock this district would be at either 5 or 6. There are no buildings. There are no people. This district was destroyed in the Civil War.

Job: Remind Everyone That They Must Work Together

Sub-District(s): None

Specific Shops/Important Locations: None

The Mineral District

This district would be at 6 or 7 o’clock. Well known for the wonderful confectionery treats and gemstones sold here. This district is unique because it has a sub-district that is not apart of the actual City. The Councilor is absent most of the time, but she is the best at her job so they do not replace her.

Sub-District(s): The Mines in the foothills of the Scaleback Mountain Range

Specific Shops/Important Locations: Sweet Tree Confections, Spun Crystal Sugar Art, Orange Blossom Gem Shop

The Frostbite District

The clock metaphor is kinda getting old, you can figure out the order of progression at this point. It is basically the holiday order clockwise around a circle. This district is the theater district. Many of the people who live here are not as they appear, especially the Councilor. Rumor has it they aren’t even dragonian.

Councilor: Cheshire

People Who Live Here Are Called: Thespians, Spies

Job: Intelligence (the Nebula is just a front), Tourism

Sub-District(s): None

Specific Shops/Important Locations: The Hearts Theater, The Blue Caterpillar Lounge, The Tea Room

The Butterfly District

The buildings in this district look like monarch butterfly wings. They are Tudor towers (white with black accents) with colored highlights showing who owns the building or what shop is there. The district is run by a beserker. This district is known for odd occurrences, cults, and a feeling of confusion.

Councilor: Sebastian

People Who Live Here Are Called: Butterflies

Job: Defense of the City Proper, Holding the Barracks

Sub-District(s): None

Specific Shops/Important Locations: The Barracks, Pandora’s Workshop, Potions and Poisons

The Chime District

This district is the youngest. It was created after the Civil War. The original Zephyr District was destroyed and the Council was put in place after the war. Currently it is the most laid back and peaceful district. It is home to artists, story tellers, and wanderers (who really should be in the Bazaar but nobody really wants to kick them out).

Councilor: Mirth

People Who Live Here Are Called: Doves, Stoners

Job: None (too new to carve out a niche)

Sub-District(s): None

Specific Shops/Important Locations: Artist’s Loft, The Wind Chime Forest, The Outlook

The Fog District

Not many people like this district. It is the home of unholy creatures and charlatans. It is the only subterranean district. Think of those shark tunnels but that is the whole district. It is like an underwater ant farm. The district is beautiful from above and property bordering it in the Chime District is very expensive. Seers and their followers often settle here. Whether or not they can actually do what they claim is called into question by people in other districts but actual residents don’t care.

Councilor: Irving

People Who Live Here Are Called: Guppies, Sheep, Gullible

Job: Tourism, Ornamental Fish Raising and Exporting, Cults

Sub-District(s): The Hatchery

Specific Shops/Important Locations: The Abandoned Temple, The Temple of Abyss, Iblis’s Aquarium

The Thorn District

Borders the Fog and Aurora Districts. Nobody can actually live or work in this district unless they have a permit. The population of permit holders is 9, only 6 actually live in the district. There are no police or dragonian defenses. Rumor has it that the Councilor is an extremely powerful druid but others say the trees are the guards. Either way, strangers are not welcome.

Councilor: Alphonse

People Who Live Here Are Called: The Chess Set, The Ambassador to the Clarus Clan

Job: Produce Food For the City, Keep Them Contained

Sub-District(s): The Orchard

Specific Shops/Important Locations: Alphonse’s Tree House, The Chess Board

So I know it’s been literal years, but I made some art for one of the remaining 10 dragons from my Cathedral Guard Hatchery project!  This boy will be put up for sale for 700 gems

#flight rising #fr art sales #frfanart #fr guardian #dragon art #cathedral guards #cathedral guard hatchery

[ingolse-fr]

The art for these two took longer than I should have allowed it to, but here they are, the two youngest cathedral guards, ready for new homes! 

The first one is a female with White Speckle / Cream Bee / Gold Veined, and her brother has White Savannah / Maize Shimmer / Gold Veined

They’ll both be at the Auction House for 900g each!

The newest Cathedral Guard baby is ready to find a new home! Since this little lad was the only one in his nest, I spent a little extra time on the art for him experimenting a bit with a new art software. There was only a 3% chance for him to get opal, so he beat the odds! 

He’ll be at the Auction House for 1000g

A little promotional painting for a hatchery I’m starting! This dragon doesn’t exist yet, but it will very soon if I’m lucky

The newest baby has hatched, and is now waiting for art with the others! My final exam deadline is in less than a week (help), so after that I will get to work and finish the art asap. 

I have also decided to name the babies before selling them this time, but the new owners are of course free to change the names however they like. I just want to be 100% sure they won’t be left nameless. 

Once again, thank you for your patience!

Even though I’m very far behind on the art, the breeding is still going strong. I got wegged again (Thanks), but there’s not much to do with that. Once my last exam is done, all 5 pending Cathedral Guard babies will be drawn, and then put up for sale. Thank you so much for your patience!

Made of stone, glass and gold. Is this a way for me to make money off of my failed attempts at my dream dragon? No one knows. Anyways, every baby from this pair will come with a unique piece of art! The first nest hatched today, and the three cuties will be for sale very soon!

Alas, only two eggs from my Cathedral Guard pair. These guys really don’t like laying many eggs at a time. Still, twice as many as last time! hatch day is in 5 days, and I’ll need a few days to make the art as well, so you can expect them to be ready for sale in a little over a week!

RNG did not show me any mercy today. One Singular cathedral guard baby should be ready for sale in about a week! maybe less, maybe more, depending on what I do with the art. I got such a great response to the art on the last batch, which I really appreciate! The plan was to go for a slightly different art style for each nest, but if you would like to see more like the last one, I could easily do that as well. What do you think? more of the same or more experimentation?

Hey I know the art dragon market is tough as hell but I feel like 900g is like WAY underselling your art, it's so beautiful and detailed, like it's the sort of art I'd expect to see in all the really pretty dragon bestiary-type books I read as a kid (And still read)

It means so much to me that you think my art is that good!! The fr art market really is a mess, and pricing art dragons can be... a challenge. Sometimes they don't sell for weeks, and other times they get sold out within the hour, even with the same amount of time put into them.

The point of the cathedral guard hatchery was to do a quick little sketchy thing, slap it onto a cute baby, and earn a few hundred gems. "They were supposed to be quick sketches", I tell myself for the 8th time, several hours into the rendering process. I really should adjust the prices according to the time I spend on the art, but I just don't think they would sell if I went too much higher. I also know that there are people out there who are saving up to buy art dragons from me, and I don't really want to suddenly make any drastic changes to how this hatchery works.

My commission prices are, however, a lot higher. I think the threshold for buying art for a well-loved dragon is lower than for buying a brand-new baby with premade art. With commissions I also have far less control of the look and the complexity of the piece. It's pretty much the freedom of doing what I want with it that makes me willing to place the prices where they are. It's good practice, but I know it's not sustainable in the long run.

Thank you again for your vote of confidence! Knowing that people actually value my art makes me so happy ❤

I probably won’t be very active in the next month or so. School is getting VERY busy as we’re approaching our exams, and there are too many things to focus on.

Still, I’ll try to finish the things I have promised to do, such as my commissions and the planned hatchery art. The Cathedral Guard breeding pair will be ready for breeding in two days, and it will go ahead as planned. However, this isn’t my main focus for the time being, so there will probably be some delays when it comes to the art. I will be keeping you updated!
