Awesome topic! I didn’t know gem dragons even had so much lore built in. I love the neutrality aspect as I never really understood the point of the chromatic/metallic division. That idea of a gem dragon raising a white dragon to be good is really inspiring too. Wish I thought of it when I was making my Icespire Peak videos!

@ernestlam5632 4 года назад

Raising them to be good isn't very neutral of them. They need to steal silver dragon wyrmlings and raise them to be evil to balance the scales.

@pyronicdesign 2 года назад

The Ruby Palace is Gold, but looks red at night because of two things. 1: Torril's Atmosphere, and 2: The sun. See, in FR, the sun is not like ours. It is literally a giant ball of fire you can walk on if you have the correct protections. It is inhabited by Fire elementals and the like. So the light it casts only appears white at a certain distance away from the planet. Add to that the fact that the Ruby palace actually orbits bunch closer to Torril than the actual Lunar Bodies and you have the perfect recipe for gold, to look red from the ground. (reloads the head cannon)
