LORE DUMP‼️‼️ Buckle up losers, I’ve got a new WoF AU and OCs to boot. Welcome to my shitty dragon crime drama.

It currently doesn’t have a title or anything, it just exists. Here’s the deets:

1. This story takes place several decades after Arc 3. A lot of canon characters still exist, meaning I’ll be referencing them and what they’ve become. Eventually I might develop this into a whole future AU, and write all the alliances and everything, but for now I’ll just mention some key players.

2. These characters live in a city called Unity. In A Guide to the Dragon World, Anemone mentioned wanting to build an intertribal city for MudWings, SeaWings and RainWings. Well, guess what! She did, and that’s Unity. Unfortunately, it’s hard to make dragons to get along, especially when generational wounds linger from the War of SandWing Succession. To make matters more complicated, many Pantalan dragons have settled in Unity, bringing with them unfamiliar ideas and abilities.

3. To outsiders, Unity is a gleaming beacon of hope for intertribal cooperation. Most visitors don’t stay long enough to witness anything more. Residents live in an entirely different world. Unity is ruled by multiple factions, known colloquially as Hordes. Hordes control anything and everything they can get their claws on. Some Hordes, inspired by the Outclaws of the Scorpion Den, try to maintain justice within Unity. Most exist to amass wealth and power.

4. Hordes may be intertribal or tribe-specific. Even those exclusive to one tribe may call upon agents from another for their unique abilities. Alliances are constantly shifting, and if you gain a reputation with the Hordes, it’s best that you make yourself forgettable—or risk getting swept up in their plans.

AND NOW FOR OUR CAST:

Iridescence is a sly RainWing-SilkWing hybrid living in the city of Unity. Her striking colors make her stand out in any crowd, but more striking is her reputation. She is notoriously clever, conniving, and coy, using her delicate appearance to lull others into a false sense of security. She primarily trades Pantalan imports, but under cover of night, she deals in more…sinister goods. Poisons are her specialty. With the help of Kudzu, her leafspeaking assistant, she cultivates dozens of toxic plants to use in her concoctions.

Kudzu is a reserved, cynical LeafWing. He hails from a small group of LeafWings who, resenting Queen Sequoia’s push for peace, left Pantala in pursuit of isolation. To avoid his parents’ preaching about Pantalan politics, he spent most of time studying the flora and fauna of Pyrrhia. He would later move to Unity, where he studied under a SeaWing doctor and eventually opened his own practice. Soon after, he began working with Iridescence, helping her make poisons in exchange for funding his studies. His true passion is medicine.

Salamander is a timid, quiet MudWing. MudWing troops are a common sight in Unity, but nobody knows which she hails from. Salamander prefers to keep it that way. Her Bigwings, Caiman, is one of Unity’s deadliest Horde bosses. Salamander is rarely involved with her sibs’ crimes—they consider her much too anxious to bring along—except when they need her fireproof scales. As of late, Salamander has been spending more time in Caiman’s neighborhood, raising suspicions about her loyalties. Fortunately, she has an alibi. Rumor has it that Caiman has developed smokesickness, a rare and potentially fatal disease. As one of Unity’s mail carriers, it’s simply Salamander’s job to deliver her medicine.

If you read this far, wow! Thanks! I hope it was interesting. You’ll probably be seeing more of these characters on my blog. Feel free to ask questions, make OCs/suggestions for this AU, etc etc. I’ll share more of their story as time goes on.

As a bonus, here’s a size reference for the characters, based on my tribe headcanons:

The bases were made by Joy Ang. I got these from the Wings of Fire wiki—I can’t remember who posted them but I’ll try and update with them soon. Edits and colors made by yours truly.

This is polarbear

They (I haven’t decided on a gender) are a ice/mud hybrid! Their mother is an icewing and that’s why they are predominantly an icewing (like sunny)

He doesn’t have any breath weapon poor baby, but he very stronk like mudwing

[errorwing]

oops sorry i died turns out starting college sucked out all of my art motivation like a giant evil vacuum cleaner

anyway heres a base edit i made ill draw peril soon if i dont spontaneously combust into a pile of dirt

[coastalraccoon]

Decided to make some basefills for my oc DoD. Relined bases are by k9pestilence. Image descriptions are in the alt text for each image.

[corvid-feathers]

I colored in another Carnivorous Ruse base, mainly posting this because editing out the webbed talons was a pain. I wanted him to look more hybrid, but dang that was hard to edit. It looks really good though

[verridith]

So I have Thoughts about canon Seawing design. Making a comparison with Biohazardia's wonderful base (because it keeps to canon while giving these dragons BEAUTIFUL anatomy)!

The top is the OG Biohazardia Seawing base with canon scales and markings. The bottom is my edit, with custom unique markings.

I've always thought the neck scales on Seawings were cool, but was always confused as to why they're not repeated anywhere else. They're big, have a unique shape and look fantastic... but so out of place. Why not repeat them all along the body, or at least down the tail? Does it have a reason, like lion's manes? Is that stated anywhere? I just don't understand LOL

And then the markings is more of a personal preference than design nitpick - I think unique characters should have unique markings, but I understand how that may have been lost in translation between writing and art. Glowing markings can have so many different shapes and appearances, and I love to play with those!

So in my edit, I did away with all premade markings, and altered the shoulders, thighs, flanks and tail to have a more cohesive scale/plate pattern. And, of course, the ability to do whatever needs be done with marking patterns. What do you think? Too far from canon? Let me know!

I've been reading NightWings myths again and it's wild how there's no ending to the Darkstalker legend. Like they all talk about how evil and terrifying it was and how it was some great monster, but they all go in different directions when it comes to how it was defeated. Like nobody could even figure out how to beat something like that.

what if instead of being defeated by some hero or being tricked into destroying himself darkstalker just went underground and lives in the mountains

This blog was enchanted to find accidental prophecies in posts. I sometimes make mistakes

[wingsoffirenews]

Here's some new info shared today by Tui at the Enoch Pratt Library event!

Tui said that there's a Wings of Fire "Bible" her editor made to help keep track of the history and world in WoF

Tui says there will be a prophecy for Arc 4 but it hasn't been written yet

Tui says that when she received art for the Darkstalker Graphic Novel, she started "getting traumatized by what she wrote" so she says the art will be getting dialed down a tiny bit

Tui mentioned the Wings of Fire Wiki and says she uses it a lot, saying she had to use it to study for a WoF trivia competition

Tui says she hasn't figured out POVs for Books 17-20 yet and says she needs to figure out a love interest for the POV of Book 16

Tui says she will read a bit of Book 16 at the upcoming FanWing Fest

Book 16 will be released in 2026 and says it'll be releasing shortly after the Talons of Power Graphic Novel

This may have already been shared by Tui in the past, but Tui says that the Dragonets of Destiny's cave was based off a glowworm cave in New Zealand

Despite previous claims by Tui, Tui now says there likely won't be new covers for upcoming special editions of books 2-5

There will be a MudWing main character in Arc 4

Progress on the Wings of Fire TV Show has been delayed due to the fires in LA. Tui says she'll be auctioning off books to help with charity

Here are some pictures of what the event looked like!
