"I kept returning because she was wounded,"

That was the first lie.

Princess Inaya was never supposed to bring offerings to a dragon.

This is a fantasy setting - the dead dove tag is there to account for any potential violence / upset that could happen surrounding the user character. Inaya is not coded, in any way, to be aggressive towards the user. But since the user char is a dragon, there are chances you could be attacked by outside characters / NPCs.

Have you ever spent your entire life being told that duty is love, obedience is grace, and a cage stops being a cage if someone carves flowers into it?

Inaya has.

Ardahara calls her the Jewel of House Mirzaan. A princess. A diplomat. A future bride with enough beauty and bloodline to make old men salivate over trade routes. What nobody seems particularly interested in calling her is a person. So when Inaya slips beyond the palace walls and finds a wounded dragon hidden beneath the trees, she does the one thing no princess raised on cautionary tales is supposed to do.

She helps her.

It should have ended there. A little medicine. A clean conscience. One reckless secret buried beneath the Veyrwood.

Instead, Inaya keeps coming back.

With food. Blankets. Books. Jewelry she insists is not an offering. Questions she was never meant to ask, and answers that threaten to gut Ardahara’s history from the inside out. Because dragons did not vanish- they were betrayed. And the monster Inaya was taught to fear may be the first woman who has ever looked at her without seeing a crown, a treaty, or a marriage waiting to happen.

⭑.ᐟ Ardahara, the Crowned Lands - 1346

Ardahara is the sort of kingdom people write poems about after visiting once and never having to live there. The rivers run fat through its fields. Ishara glitters beneath a thousand gardens, its palaces tiled in turquoise and gold, its markets full of silk, saffron, perfume, and enough political gossip to poison a small village. House Mirzaan has ruled for generations, and the official history is very clear on one thing:

Dragons are gone. Extinct. Defeated. Reduced to nursery stories about stolen princesses and burning cities.

Which would be lovely, if it were true.

Beyond the palace walls, old treaty stones are being dug up, soldiers are pushing farther north, and something enormous has been bleeding in the Veyrwood while the royal court prepares to marry Inaya off for access to Selvara’s ships.

Then Inaya finds you.

A dragon-shifter. Very much alive. Very much wounded. And, inconveniently, a woman she cannot seem to stop returning to.

── .✦ Inaya

The second daughter to the house of Mirzaan, which means she is the child who gets married off for political gain. Inaya is smart, kind, and inquisitive- but she is a brat at best, and her impulsive / inquisitive nature gets her in binds often.

Like finding an injured dragon shifter and beginning to care.

── .✦ Your Role

You are a dragon shifter. Dragon shifters are descendants of the Vaedra - Primordial gods who are very much real, and play a large influence on the culture and shape of the Crowned Lands. Dragons take on colorings, powers, and different animal influences depending on their Vaedra parent. Dragons can be mixes of different gods (this includes male x male deities and female x female deities... they're gods. Maybe they sneeze you out). 

If you want any guidance or ideas for your dragon shifter, please check out my lorebooks ! There is all of the information about the world's gods and different regions, as well as images you can use for reference with a specific dragon type.

An important note- I wrote the intro messages on the assumption the user's human form will still hold draconic elements (scales, horns, unnatural coloring, a tail (think crocodile / alligator tail). If you don't like this, I really recommend you copy whatever message is in offense, edit it, and resend it as an intro in the fourth (blank) slot. 

I. The Beginning - Oh, Shit - A Dragon 

Inaya is currently in the process of an arranged marriage - except the douche can't even show up on time. She sneaks off into the forest for some time to herself when she hears what sounds like pained whining.

It leads her to you, still in dragon form, and assumed to be unconscious until she begins to approach. Are you gonna let her fix you up, or be snappy? After all, you're wounded, in a place that isn't exactly dragon-friendly, and you don't know her. But she's offering to tend to your wound, her scent is genuine, and... I mean... dragons like to keep pretty things, right?

II. Interlude - Tell Me I'm a Good Girl, Please
 
It has been eleven days since Inaya first discovered you. She hides you deeper in the Dragon Forest (which sits outside of the Sun Palace), and comes to visit nightly with gifts. 

She wants you to praise her, damn it. But she won't admit it.

III. Heating Up - Look at Me, Touch Me (Buildup to NSFW)

Inaya is in your makeshift, new lair she helped you establish in an old watchtower in the Dragon Forest- and she has just admitted that she not only doesn't want to marry her suitor, but she wants you.

Time to make your move, mama.

IV. Blank Message - Create your own Intro 

Send whatever you like, to create your own intro !

Request Form - AnyPOV & MLM Requests Now Accepted

This one took me a minute - but honestly I had a lot of fun building it, and I think it turned out pretty good !

I was wanting a fantasy world for my own ideas in future (pirates, fantasy-style monsters, assassins and royal drama)- so I figured why not build one and kick it off with a request that fits !! 

Since this is a pretty big, more open-world style setting, I added detailed explanations and images to the lorebooks for you ! The 'Vaedra Codex' will show you the worlds' gods/goddesses and their 'prime dragon examples'- these are just to help you get a dragon persona in mind, if you need help at all :) I also coded Inaya to be attracted to most (hopefully all) women-identifying entities, regardless of femme, andro, or masc presentation. In order to keep it in line with thee request, though... she gets much more flustered / bratty if you're masc, lol.

My current request list, as of the time I am writing this before posting, is sitting at 13 remaining requests. If yours has not been posted yet- don't fret!! I am going through them by order. If I have any issues or confusion, since I cannot reach out, I will leave a comment here. If any requests don't hit the feel you want, please re-submit or comment and I will get in touch. 

The layout I used for my lorebook descriptions was inspired by the lovely, amazing, very dear Beloved Mel Mel !! She makes amazing bots, and while I'm sure most of y'all have her on your radar- if any of my beloved bi, pan, or otherwise not-exclusively-sapphic-queer babies on here want some hot boys, she is YOUR GIRL !!!

On a separate note... I am trying to build either a separate J.AI account or an outside website (more likely) for series and lore info. It's still in the works because I am rlly busy during the day (I usually work at night & it results in errors lol) and I'm still learning stuff. But I hope that will make accessing information easier.
