[wof-reworked]

Hello! I was scrolling through your posts, enjoying myself, reading the lore, when I saw that you didn't exactly know what to do for the Great Ice Dragon. Uh, please disregard this ask if it's presumptuous of me, but I'd like to share my interpretation of the Great Ice Dragon, if you will. (Some things may not fit with your lore and I apologize!!! I'm taking my information off of the books, mostly.) So I'd like to think that Icewings were a lot more, uh, widespread. In ancient, older times, I mean. And that, slowly, they were losing spots to live that had the sufficient temperature for Icewings to be living comfortably in Pyrrhia. So an Icewing animus decided to make a place where they could all live comfortably. Either by finding an area on that map and going "there, you are now snowy and cold." Or (and this is the version that permeates the Great Ice Dragon myth) he went over there and enchanted his frostbreath so that when he used it, the land would be chilled immediately. This saves the Icewings from their loss of territory and comfortable living spaces. But stories, uh, change! So it goes from Icewing animus, to Icewing folk hero, to Icewing spirit, to The Great Ice Dragon. (Ice doesn't look like a work to me anymore.) So, uh, yeah! My interpretation of the Great Ice Dragon, if you'll have it. If not, then uh, have a nice day! Remember to hydrate!

no I love this sort of stuff, thank you so much for sharing your stuff w me, I'm kind of honored :}

I really like this myth as something for Icewings to believe, and the way it transforms over time is (chefs kiss).

I also think that would give some really cool flavor to the Great Ice Dragon since animus dragons are associated with royalty,,, of course the original idea would be far removed but even starting from animus might shape how the Great Ice Dragon is thought of,,, already he's kind of a patriarch but I think a cold, inscrutable one would suit that kind of characterization coming from an old Icewing animus.

I genuinely might adapt this into my ongoing wof lore, thank you so much !!!!
