How long does the average kurosian live?

It reeeeeeeeally depends on their line of work, actually! Most dragons die of old age around 600-900 years old, except Brokt. They’re the most sturdy breed, and rarely die of old age. Scarmane ‘was’ a living legend because she just, wouldn’t die 8,D she was the longest living one, and was killed via poison thanks to Malefor’s bidding. Brokt tend to keep going until something stops them, though around 700-800 is when they start slowing down a bit, but can still fight.

Dragons of war have the shortest lifespans, of course. The average age of death in war is around 200-400 (Brokt 400-500).

Weeeeeiiiird, when are you and Koof gonna reveal the original Kuros blogggg?

I’ve actually started on another approach last week, seeing as I was having trouble with the website, and the other blog is such a pain to work with, I’ve moved to writing in a notebook. So far, so good, been writing and working more lore out than I have been. Once I have it well enough ironed out, I can try the website instead of using the website as a storage base of info that I’ll pretty up later.

So sorry it takes so long, revealing it too soon would spoil some lore, and some needs revisiting. What I have in mind is… big, and it’s something I’ve been chipping at for years. Sure ppl are tired of my apologies and excuses BUT, do got quite a bit on my plate. But I appreciate everyone’s patience, and I try to answer the asks when I have the answers for them.

You said Elaida kept the remaining wing membrane of her lost wing. So do dragons that have amputated wings typically remove all of the webbing and just leave a stub of the wing “arm” (I guess that’s what you’d call that part? idk)?

It can be seen as unkempt or lazy instead of admiring like most scars. The membrane eventually shrivels up, but it looks really nasty while it happens sometimes. The loss of a wing can be seen as a great sacrifice in battle more often than not, unless you’re not a warrior or a known good fighter. Then it would make you look clumsy and a poor fighter. To the public, Elaida was respected but to those who really knew her, the few who did, saw it as a sign of her withering mental state.

Most dragons will have the rest of the membrane cut away or cared for to ensure it stays alive (if they don’t want prosthetics).

What would Vulcan and Brissas child have looked like?

theshimmeringisles:

MOD: Cacus is actually still going to look MOSTLY the same whenever I make his KurosXChroma hybrid update! I think the other changes will likely end up being gills (he’s going to be able to breathe underwater, unlike his mom) and a much more Lung dragon look. He’s going to take a lot more after his mom’s Ibarntang blood. (Sorry I don’t have any new art, this is on my to-do list though!)

Name : Elaida Yeu’Yinn
Age : 563 (at time of death)
Sex : Female
Species : Shire, Kuros
Family :

  • Reund (son)
  • Aeunda (daughter)
  • Bjornhael (son)
  • Ludd (son)
  • Kurogh (son)
    • Cynder (4 others in same clutch, eggs smashed)
    • Voteil
  • Eledoa (daughter)
  • Paardu (son)
  • (many others, above most notorious)

Major Element : Aura
Minor Element : Fear
Profession : Silent Widow ( Sàmh’Bann )
Patron Gods :

  • Mahoura the All-Mother (Aura based)
  • Bruja’Hiem (God of Revenge & Grudges)

Abilities : Elaida didn’t have a breath, instead her Aura could have area effects. Completely invisible, her aura had the ability to infect others with a sense of impending doom, dread, paranoia and a sickening wave of fear. Elaida was used in combat, interrogations, torture, political meetings, etc. so her influence could be used. She was able to control when her aura would infect, and those who were infected feel a sharp sudden sting in their heart; where the Aura is most tethered.

Personality : Cold, distant, leery, and controlling. However Elaida was known for barely speaking; talking only when she had to. When she did, she carried a deep, eerie voice that reminded many of bones rattling together. Elaida used her abilities to punish her offspring, and shape them into emotionless soldiers. She was highly manipulative, and mentally abusive to those that dared to try and befriend her. She trusts no other but herself, and near the end of her life grew more and more demanding of honor from her children after Maeldun sires a Cnámhdubh, or black boned Kuros. Fearing her name would be overshadowed, she instilled this fear into all of her offspring.

History : Elaida was a bizzare dragon growing up, being very fearful of everyone and everything. She was afraid of even trying to use her element, leaving her nearly ‘elementless’ until her fourth year, when she was expected to begin attending training/schooling. When forced to present something, she was heckled for her shyness. Out of shame and embarrassment, she imagined herself biting him and every other dragon who laughed. The class quickly erupted in screams of panic and fear. Upon realizing her abilities, instead of coming clean with them, Elaida began to use this for revenge and getting what she wanted.

The little aura dragon was quickly found out, however, and taken to the Kurosian capital to attend Aura training at Mahoura’s temple. Away from all family and the quiet forest village she was born in, Elaida was even more fearful, but was punished severely when she would attempt to use it on her fellow Kuros. After decades of rigorous training and reshaping, the dragoness began work for the King and Queen as a Sàmh’Bann. Or, Silent Widow, an Aura dragon without breath abilities specialized into units.

Even though she could control her Aura gifts, she had to be smart about how she’d use it. Never letting go of the ease of manipulating others with fear, paranoia, and dread to get the things she wanted, Elaida did it as long as she didn’t infect the wrong dragons. Those that would remember or notice the sting, she couldn’t infect, or had to be smart with how she infected. It was a dangerous game to play, but Elaida was cunning, and earned a high position in the court, with plenty of contracts, land, and wealth.

That is, until Asiirha was born. Maeldun had been the sire of her last clutch, whom all held important titles in the court, but him fathering a black bone struck a chord with Elaida. She became seethingly jealous, and demanded more of her own children to compete with Asiirha’s near impossible status. The son that seemed to take this the most personally, was Kurogh. Having grown up with his mother’s fears, seemed to sense this competition and fight the hardest to win; even striving to be King himself. However, his many losses in battle shamed him more and more, and when Elaida died whilst on a mission that failed, she passed disappointed in him. Something Kurogh never let go, either.

Trivia :

  • Despite actively being in wars and battles, Elaida hated fighting. She relied too much on her abilities that when her attacker would suddenly panic, they were even more difficult to fight. Incidents like this cost her her left arm and wing. She retreated further into the court side of the professions in hope to escape her possible death. The scars on her neck were the final straw, until her final mission forced by the King and Queen.
  • The metal on her nose was melted onto her scales; she was not born with it. It’s a fashion choice. When she lost her wing she kept the remaining wing membrane to creep out others as it would wilt and tatter with age.
  • Has no tail spade or breath, something she was extremely sensitive about. She also has poor eyesight compared to most dragons, refusing to get glasses or seek magics to correct them.

Dark Spyro apparently is kurosian?

AHAHHAA YUP! Actually had this canon since day one 8,D It’s a false Kuros pretty much, when darkness infects it can turn good guys evil like a disease. Eventually killing them, but if one has a strong enough will and a open enough heart, they can stop the disease from killing them and driving them mad. Instead, manipulating the darkness to their advantage. While it gives them the appearance of a Kuros and dark gifts, it doesn’t turn their bones into Kuronium. That’s a Kuros-only thang baybay ;D And false Kuros can’t manipulate the darkness as naturally as Kuros can.

Spyro often switches into that form to enrage the Queen. A near sure-fire way to anger her to the point of fury mode, when she’s thinking more primal and easier to trick. Thoooough it does make her faster and frantic, WL Spyro has a looooooootta scars from near misses 8,D So he uses it as an emergency, usually if Feur has a Skylander in her grasp. If Feur gets a Skylander in her claws, she tries to kill them as quick as she can before help can stop her.
