What's this, a wings of fire redesign thing? Yeah I kind of wish the tribes had more unique body shapes because looking at all of them they have like, the same sort of proportions for the most part.

I feel like mudwings would have a more crocodilian-sort of body shape, more designed for ambush, with shorter, thicker necks since they're known to be the tanks of the tribes.

Sandwings I took more inspiration from vipers and lizards that actually live in the desert, and I feel like they could almost slither across the sand to sneak up on prey.

Nightwings I took a lot more inspiration from things like komodo dragons, and gave them kind of stretchier skin on their underside and smaller scales across their body, which I feel like mimics things like obsidian and volcanic rock.

Seawings deserve some anglerfish lures and the bioluminescence to be more similar to IRL creatures like deep-sea jellyfish. I also took inspiration from dolphins for the head shape, seeing as we read about how the seawings believe them to be cousins of sorts.

Rainwings I took inspiration from chameleons and frilled lizards, make them look like they can be threatening if they want to.

Icewings I gave almost seal-fur on their undersides for more help on the ice, caribou-esque horns to give a bit of uniqueness to the silhouette, and protruding tusks both for the ice and silhouette.

Skywings I made have a bit of a bird vibe with the head shape, almost like they could hook into whatever they're biting or use it to pick up things like rocks.

dont you want to become a cult leader

why does nobody (aka the books) not bother to think of the impact darkstalker left on pyyrhia after he was defeated.

-Annual report recorded by SkyWing scribe, Secretary, to superior, Scalding, approx. 15 years after the War of SandWing Succession began-

"This war has afflicted the tribes of Pyyrhia in way no other disaster has. Every of them raked to their core fighting for the SandWings and their royal squabbles.

.

The MudWings are nearly extinct. The IceWings sealed themselves behind their borders. The SeaWings have all turned to high-seas crime and piracy. The NightWings are only alive because they've enslaved most of the RainWings. (I hear their labor is used for making that awful thick and oily armor they wear) The SandWings themselves are all starving. I wonder what guilt they feel for the war they started? Any at all? The princesses better be sorry at least. I'm happy one is already dead.

.

The SkyWings survive. Not that we dont have our own problems though. The Queen has gone absolutely mad with gladiatorial gluttony. Drunk on violence. Her generals, Sparrow, Vermillion, Bloodstone, and Peregrine have taken over in her mental absence, it seems. The rest of us train. We protect our border and fight with vicious vigor. Iron sharpens iron. Flame adds to flame. We spar to keep us in practice in the event we are attacked from a force on the outside, or within. We'll be ready nontheless. The SkyWings will not fall to this war. Not to anyone. Not even to ourselves."

Leaked graphic novel concept art of Luna on her way to Pyyrhia

i already tried to send this but I'm pretty sure tumblr just tossed the ask directly into the void so. since skywings believe in reincarnation, what about the other tribes? like, what if some seawings found the bones of some real big water dinosaur and thought it was a dead god, and came to worship them. or mudwings wearing necklaces of alligator teeth to ward off bad luck. or sandwings respecting scorpions as ancient ancestors

(agh. Sorry for getting to this so late... And yup this was definitely lost to the abyss! I am so sorry!)

And oh I love this idea! It's so good! Like I said before I adore mythologies in stories. Like... It's such a big part of world building!

Honestly the closest we get to it in series is probably Darkstalker and maybe Albatross and Arctic? Which you know is all well and good... But I want straight up myths.

For example. This why they have three moons, or this is why Pyyrhia us shaped like a dragon or yada yada.

But yes! I love all of these concepts! (I'm particularly partial to the giant sea dinosaur. Lol)

Guys pyyrhia has scrolls and Pantala has books idk why it took me this long to realize this

[wingsoffireconfessions]

ok two things. firstly--- QUINTERWATCHER yes im here for this content come on Tui this is the ONLY acceptable thing for the three of them. secondly,,, i dont like bug dragons because theyre so boring?? like,, pyyrhia with its diversity and climate based races and then. pantela with... bugs. just bug dragons. not even bug dragons actually, just blue guys with more wings and kind of sort of antennae.

there might be other, cooler bug dragons. we can still hold out hope right. someone please tell me we can still hold out hope,

Introducing you all to Caribou and Moose, an IceWing and a RainWing dragonet native to the SFAU, and two of my most popularly requested characters since their inception.

In this alternate version of Pyyrhia, Queen Scarlet has more than just her gladiator arena to satiate her need for controlled violence. Luckily, an island miles to the north of the Sky Kingdom, ringed in a mile of boiling water on all shores, served to be her new favorite place to pass the time.

The island, called Menagerie, became Scarlet's preferred POW camp. Her prisoners are brought in with their wing membranes shorn in half, or "clipped" so no dragons can fly away. It serves as an illustrious hunting playground for the SkyWing elite, as their flightless prey are still full of spunk and more fun to chase down.

It was here that Caribou, a second-circle military commander for the IceWings, was dumped- and subsequently where she met two fangless RainWings, who had lived on the island so long, they had a dragonet together. When the two caught wind that Caribou was attempting escape, they begged her on talons and knees to take their son with her. Reluctant, and wary of dragonets in general, Caribou begrudgingly agreed.

If you like these two and my other SFAU content so far, I recommend visiting my Instagram profile (@mozziu_s) to see all of the posts in their original glory, and to be immersed in the stories they tell. Thank you for lending me your eyes here, enjoy!
