Luxaeterna, a participant in the first true battle of the war between the Rainwings and Icewings, the Battle of Stolen Light. Her venom-fangs were torn out by an Icewing poacher, and after surviving and avoiding capture, replaced them with harder gemstone teeth. She’s well known for the number of Icewing skulls she’s impaled throughout the war. She is Boomslang and Quetzal’s great aunt. Postwar, she has been reunited with her living grandnephew and accompanies him for scale retrieval in the Ice and Sky Kingdoms.

Quetzal in his last moments before being murdered by an Icewing poacher. He had sold Boomslang’s egg to the Icewings in the hopes of gaining immunity from the scale trade- but he learned far too late that a bargain can’t be kept with someone who wants to wear your skin.

#wof #wings of fire #oc #my art #luxaeterna #quetzal #scale retrieval is going to the kingdoms participating in the rainscale trade and-#confiscating anything made from rainwings to be brought home for identification #this also includes live farm prisoners/poaching victims #the identification is helped by the scientific community within the rainforest’s nightwing village #but (as you can probably imagine) its a deeply stressful process for everyone who’s missing someone.#the hope that you’ll have a venom match with anyone who’s been returned alive #and the dread of the possibilty that your reunion will be with an objected your loved one was turned into.#i cant wait to talk abt the nightwings here btw bc they have some shit going on here.#(rainforest village is very clearly against the rainscale trade but the peninsula kingdom participated in poaching)#edit wow i was nearly asleep typing those tags uh.#*objected is meant to be object #beneath her talons
