hey y'all
i wrote this at like 2:00 am so if this doesn't make any sense tell me

so i've been thinking of dragon religions. we know that skywings have beliefs (reincarnation), and icewings believe in "the great ice dragon" that was mentioned a few times. obviously hivewings (and silkwings too now) worship Clearsight as a deity, but what about the rest of the tribes?

what if they believe in the gods/goddesses of their continents? for example, the goddess Pyrrhia and the god Pantala.
the first dragons, with no specific tribe. they are the creators of dragons.

and they have elements of each tribe on their bodies:

Pyrrhia has an icewing head for frostbreath and clear eyesight. she has a sandwing chest and has a sandwing heart of gold. nightwing front talons to write scrolls and make maps, and skywing wings to soar through the skies. she has rainwing haunches and back legs to grip tree branches and blend in, and a mudwing back to blend into the mud. and last but not least, she has a seawing tail to swim the oceans.

Pantala doesn't have any obvious traits from any of the tribes on his continent, because of the fact that hivewings are a new thing and leafwings and beetlewings didn't have any set kingdoms. as a result, the god just.. has an 𝑜𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑛𝑒𝑠𝑠 that radiates power.

i bet pantala is definitely a god of chaos and is way more bloodthirsty- i mean, even the continent itself is snarling in Pyrrhia's direction. maybe they had a legendary battle or something lol-

and pyrrhia is the protector of the mortal dragons- she forever stands guard, waiting and watching for him to attack.
and originally pyrrhia was the only continent with dragons, bc he hates them. but when some went exploring (a group of dragons flew over) pantala created the othermind to drive them away. but these early pantalans fought it off and became the leafwings and beetlewings.

here are some quick sketches of each of them:

pantala

and pyrrhia

i didn't sign them so if you steal them imma stab you with a trowel.
:)

update: found this pic, art not by me. perhaps this is them locked in said legendary battle? look how pantala's tail is angled at pyrrhia's underbelly and pyrrhia has her talons locked in his shoulder.
