#blue cliffs

[serpentface]

scene from one of the stories in the blightseed setting (working title: "9/11 for pterosaurs"), about what happens when a series of unsuccessful peasant revolts suddenly becomes way too successful and the entire royal family + half of the capital of the Empire of Cynozepal is blown up and irradiated with a dirty bomb.

Pictured here is Haresluck (an elderly falseling lord of no particular skill or ambition, who only really wants the throne so that he could marry his favorite consort), Blue Cliffs (his highly ambitious consort), and Ten Chittekil (translator), negotiating with Wazkahvat Wogare (a Cynozepalay-Zgan clanmother) in hopes of attaining an alliance .

The Blue Cliffs Shining With Meltwater, (Of the Matronage of Buffalo Crossing, Dragonbride and Regent of Cynozepal, Kingmother to the Rising Griffin) Aka Blue Cliffs (left)

demonstrating hybridization between caelin and delkhin, (as well as the length of names of nobility in Crown cynozepali culture)

Caelin and delkhin are the only two sophonts closely related enough to reproduce. Hybrid eggs are often non-viable, and the majority of viable young are infertile, with rare exceptions. The incest common in Cynozepali royal dynasties is partly rooted in the desire to preserve such rare fertile hybrid bloodlines. All dynasties of the Crown Age claim lineage from one legendary hybrid hen, a giant and flighted kingmother remembered as The Dragonsbride (who may or may not have actually existed).

Hybrid individuals will usually be relatively uniform in overall phenotype for each combination of parents, and may be larger and more robust than both (as in other animal hybrids). Most other physical variations (coloration, patterning, etc) are small differences in phenotype and are inherited as they are in non-hybrid individuals. Virtually none are capable of flight.

The Crown cynozepali phrase for such hybrids translates to 'Firstkind', due to a belief that caelin and delkhin were once of one kind, (with the latter being stripped of its wings during a mythic age).

There is no uniform stigma against Firstkind, with their social status depending more on class than anything else. Firstkind have particularly high status when born to wealthy Crown families, but face ostracization and are often pushed to the periphery of society when born into poverty. This is partly due to the outsider status given to most delkhin who are not of assimilated mercantile or noble families, and partly due to the peasantry relying on flight to perform their labor.

Everyone wanting Purple Hawke carnally through sheer magnetism is all well and good, but I personally like the idea of Blue Hawke showing people the first bit of kindness and respect they’ve gotten in years and can’t help fall in love with them.
