Veryi Desert
Watched over by Jack and Desert Zand
Habitat:
The Desert that nearly touches Cyari’s equator and ths is the
Southernmost point of land on the planet (except maybe some rock-islands
in the ocean) is filled with sand and rock. The grasslands fade into
Savannah and then into dry dustlands that change constantly due to the
winds moving the dunes. Therefore there isn’t a set building that keeps
the candidates and staff, but a nomad-styled tent-village that, same as
the desert, moves constantly.
Life forms:
The Dragons: Desert
Dragons
Appearance: Desert Dragons are large regal dragons with a calm,
authorative way of behaving that suits them well. They have a long,
slender body with muscled arms and legs. Their wings are made up of a
durable material that is not seen anywhere else on Cyatri, it keeps most
of the sand of and allows the deserts to take shelter behind their wings.
Even so, as the dragons get older, more small dents and even holes emerge
in their wings. The Deserts have long, spiky hair that catches more sand
than most riders would prefer, but it serves as isolation in the colder
nights.
Lastly, Desert dragons adopted the custom of covering the more fragile
parts of their bodies against sand and heat. They wear strips of cloth
around their faces, and paws.
Colours: Red, Orange and Yellow/Beige
Temperament: Fiery and Noble
Special Power: mild telekinesis, they can control minute specks of
sand, causing storms, but they can just as easily avert them.
The Pets: Featherbees
Featherbees are small snake dragons with feathered wings. They are very well
adapted to the extremities of heat that they have a hard time surviving
anywhere else. They enjoy sunbathing, racing and just irritating people
with their presence. They are like cats that way. Featherbees are lenient
when it comes to ownership. They have no problems being given away or
traded and usually live in large flocks of their own, only now and then
taking a fancy to a human and then returning after a few years have
passed.
Also there are rumours of a strange type of featherbee, a wild, fanged
version that seems less developed evolution-wise and is hardly ever seen.
These have been dubbed Wyld Roamers, yet it is unsure if they even exist
outside the minds of the people who claimed to have seen them.
