Joining

Do you see one that fits your character? You can start their journey here. Write a story or draw a comic about your character joining. They may have any reason whatsoever. If you would like inspiration, you can choose any of the Duties below and show why they chose to do that duty for that group. Only a Rider or an unattached Independent Dragon may join an affiliation.

Art Requirements

Writing: 1500 words or Longer. If there are 2+ characters, then there is an additional 300 word minimum for each character claiming an activity.
Illustration: Comic with 5 panels or more.
When switching to a new Affiliation, requirements are doubled.

 Fill out the following form and then click here to join an Affiliation.

Affiliation:
Duty: (ID/Prompt)
Terrain(s): (optional)
Familiar Search Tools: (optional)
Buffs: (familiars, equipment, etc.)

Switching Affiliations

To switch an affiliation, draw a comic or write a story about their reasoning. Why did leave their original Affiliation? What is their motivation? This requires a bit more work than joining. Comics must be at least ten panels long. Written entries must be at least 2500 words. More is always encouraged. Only comics or written entries are accepted. At least part of the stories must take place on Eredia or Shérok. Your characters may be of any race and origin, regardless of what affiliation they join. Characters have their Affiliation Points reset to 10, regardless of how many points they previously had.

Why Join?

Only characters that belong to an Affiliation can complete Affiliation Duties.

Each Affiliation has its own form of Affiliation Points, along with specialized store goods to purchase with it. Affiliation points are tracked per Rider or Independent dragon. In the case of Independent dragons, they will retain a unique AP pool if they attach to a Rider after acquiring AP. While an Independent dragon is attached to a Rider, any further AP will go towards their new Rider's AP pool. A character can only collect points of their own Affiliation.  A single character must be able to afford goods in order to purchase it, and they cannot transfer their points to other Riders. Items purchased may then be traded or transferred like regular items unless otherwise stated. Visit the store here.
