Name of band: Talons of the South
Abbreviation: Southern Talons or South Talons
Leader: Young Pisces
Resident Members: Honey, Nako
Friends: Sapphire Roc
Species: Open to all species, but would be best to be a hawk, eagle, etc.
Mission: Built by Pisces' ideals, the Southern Talons are vigilant freefliers who defend the Guardians behind the scenes. Each bird lives on the coast of the Sea of Hoolemere, constantly scouting for threats from the Remnants or other birds trying to cause trouble in the world. Though they are unsure if the Guardians know of their existence, the Southern Talons have stopped quite a few birds reaching their shores.
Each of the birds either lives in one of the lands along the coast of the sea, or in the cave headquarters. They all are good at scouting out threats to the guardians and peace of the world, sometimes relying on the word of slipgizzles, other times relying on instinct. Occasionally, they will organise stealth missions to delve deep into the Tyto kingdom to find Remnants.
Headquarters:
Where the water ends abruptly between Silverveil and the Barrens there is a cave opening that overlooks the Sea of Hoolemere. A thin river of water, that if followed for a short while, leads into a wide, circular cave with a dome structure. The round pool of shallow water is just as clear as the river that leads into it, with a jagged rock in the middle perfect for perching on for a while. All around the cave are alcoves where the Southern Talons make their own nests, whether they live there all the time or just stop there every month or so. There are a few empty, loosely-filled nests for birds they may have rescued and are giving a place to stay for the night.
The walls and ceiling of the cave is made of hard rock and crystals formed over many thousands of years, and the bird's nests are mostly natural, the entrances or insides being moulded with collected mud to even it off or to shorten the entrance. The cave itself is usually quite dark, but as the moon gets fuller, the extra light begins to catch the crystals, and when it reaches a full moon the cave is bathed in a dazzling blue-light, making it very beautiful. In the daytime, the water reflects light from the outside into the cave providing minimal lighting.
Sub-board required?: Yes
Description of territory: Pretty much summed it up above, except for the area around the cave. When you fly out of the cave, you have two options - fly straight out onto the Sea of Hoolemere to hunt, or to turn around and go over the top of the cave, up along the small cliff to where a grassy area of land sits. There is some prey here, but most Southern Talons hunt the fish that is available. The Barrens provide little for the band, but other close areas like Silverveil and Tyto are a good source if food is a little low.
Other information: They must elite birds, predators like hawks, kites, eagles, etc are suggested. I would like to see the bird's profile first or to know what they are going to be like please. Must be good at fighting, or have a good heart, etc, as they are going to be fighting lots of birds on the side of the Guardians.
would you like her to have already been in it, or do you want a thread where she joins?
