       minor background info before I get started: I don't pay
       attention to canon dragon lore. My dragons all act according to
       how I want them to, regardless of what canon says they should.

       Sunlight[/font][/center]
       [hr]
       Long ago, at first formation, Arcane Sunlight was a simple small
       clan led by a young spiral named Manatee. She was wildly
       impulsive and optimistic, forever smiling and happy. The clan
       prospered and thrived under her leadership, guided by the gentle
       hands of her mother and father.
       Things were different when she left.
       It was a sudden thing, her leaving, and it left a noticeable
       hole where her bubbly personality used to be. She had to "find"
       herself she told them as she handed the role of leader to Lola,
       a slightly neurotic coatl with a reputation for doing what's
       best for the clan, regardless of the consequences. She left that
       day and hasn't been seen since.
       Lola did her best. She assigned gathering groups, created a
       council for clan matters (as the clan had gotten quite large by
       then), and a council for clan relations. She was forever
       worrying over the politics of the job, the well-being of her
       clan pushed to a young guardian named Harai who was also the
       hatchery caregiver.
       Harai was kind, loving, peaceful. She begged to go on foraging
       trips if only to employ her use of healing magics and frequently
       would make poultices and tonics to assist the clan with their
       many medical issues. When she wasn't at the hatchery or
       foraging, she was with her mate. Peryite was an imperial, black
       as night and just as dark. Their mating was somewhat of a
       curiosity. Gentle Harai and Cynical Peryite. Who would have
       thought? But they were very much in love and had many children,
       to Harai's unending delight.
       The change to the clan was subtle. Viridios was the first to
       come, the first slightly off dragon to integrate themselves. His
       unending love of parasitic spores and fungi paired with his
       barely banked bloodlust made most weary of him. Lola, however,
       was charmed immediately. Their mating was simple and quiet.
       Then came Velrani. Velrani was cold, ruthless. Her addition to
       the clan was strongly opposed by a majority of the clan and yet
       - she stayed. She was distant, preferring to observe than to
       participate. She ate very little, spoke less, and put off an
       aura of wrongness that made it so no one wanted to change that.
       Whether she changed or was always murderous and just biding her
       time, no one knows. Her rise to power was swift and efficient, a
       good majority of those opposing her falling then rising as she
       used her powers of necromancy to bring them back, her bound
       slaves. Some she didn't bother with bringing back, instead using
       the necklace of darksteel she wore to absorb their spirits and
       power her spellweaving.
       Those who she brought back were different. Most were hateful,
       full of rage and no way to take it out on the cause, bound as
       they were. And so she used them, directed them toward those she
       saw fit and let them tear them apart.
       Others came. Those like her, with power over dead, gravitated
       toward her as if she were a beacon. She found a mate, though
       only for purposes of solidification. She took on an apprentice,
       though only for an outlet to bounce ideas off. None of them knew
       what she knew, none of them were even a candle to her inferno.
