» The Paths of the Lair «


» Kobolds «

The Kobolds make up the bulk of the Lair, causing chaos, chanting for stories and treats, and occasionally setting something on fire that really shouldn't be ablaze. They also can pursue the paths of Wealth and Prestige within the Lair. To be officially recognized as a Kobold, one must join the Linksub-realm 'Discord' and make your request within.

On the Path of Prestige, the Kobold strives to gather the Treasure of Prestige for both themselves and the Lair overall. On this path, the Kobold will be trained to be a raiding Wyrm for The Lair, given all the skills and tools needed to plunder loot from foreign realms. The better the Wyrm does, and the more skills they accrue, the older and more powerful the Wyrm becomes.

On the Path of Wealth, the Kobold has the choice of pursuing; the Treasure of Gold Coins by completing tasks and quests within the Linksub-realm 'Discord'; the Treasure of Artwork; or the Treasure of GDP, by raising their statistics in Economy, Average Income, Average Disposable Income, Average Rich Income, or Economic Output

» Hatchling «
"The Hatchlings are the youngest of the Lair, possessing unbound energy but no experience. Having just broken their shell in the Hatching Grounds, they sometimes need guiding and patience to grow into a proper raiding wyrm!"

Hatchlings are the first rank a raider will get upon completing their training. In order to achieve this rank, the Unhatched must complete a tag run, be the point nation in at least one jump and seize the delegacy, and participate in a stealth clean jump.


» Wyrmling «
"The Wyrmlings have grown into their own and are knowledgeable enough to cause havoc on their own. While they are young, they are mighty, and are taught new secrets to traversing the space between realms."

Wyrmlings are raiders who have done some raids under the Lair's banner. In order to achieve this rank, the Hatchling must have raided several times with the Lair, and work well with their fellow dragons. This rank allows a raider to both be eligible for the Conclave of Lords, as well as be allowed to train Unhatched.


» Young Dragon «
"The Young Dragons are skilled dragons, recognized by the Greatwyrms for their prowess in pillaging and looting. Wherever you see a Young Dragon, know that they are to be feared and respected."

Young Dragons are noted for their mechanical skill in raiding. In order to achieve this rank, the Wyrmling must demonstrate mechanical competency across several areas of raiding, and be able to guard secrets closely.


» Adult Dragon «
"Adult Dragons are terrifying creatures, able to hold their own against a dozen adventurers. They have survived and grown to such power for a reason."

Adult Dragons are longstanding and venerated members of the Lair. In order to achieve this rank, the Young Dragon must have helped train Unhatched and Hatchlings, be in good standing with our allies and those who would be Patron to the Lair, and display leadership qualities and skills.


» Ancient Dragon «
"Should you ever find yourself opposite an Ancient Dragon, it is too late. They are forces of nature, backed by the magics of the Lair and the Greatwyrms themselves. Your only chance is to hope you can offer a fitting tribute."

Ancient Dragons are the pinnacle of the Lair's raiding forces. In order to achieve this rank, the Adult Dragon must have a deep knowledge of the Lair's workings, have exceptional commitment to growing the hoards, show strong negotiating skills for mercenary contracts, and promotes the Lair's ideals of Wealth and Prestige.
