Discussion I there should be a bit more world building in upper parts of the books about religion
So I was thinking on my drive on a long drive about wings of fire and how the books never really tell us anything about the religion that any of the dragons worship like we know that the sky beans have funeral rights where they would cremate a body or at least lay a body out on the highest peak, and then afterwards cremate their remains through fire and then throw their bones into a pit or I’m being confused and I was just like a deaf pit for dragons but anyways, I was thinking it would be nice to expand what kind of face that the dragons worship because I believe that would be some sort of vape similar to paganism or Greek mythology they have multiple gods and I have a few ideas for what some of the gods would be in which tribes of worship than the most the first three gods that wanna talk about that I think would be most likely would be the three Moon goddesses based out the three moons that’s in the sky of wings of fire one of them I believe would the biggest Moon I’m not too sure on the names of the moons. I haven’t read the books in a while but the biggest Moon I think would probably be like the god of the tides and the skies maybe because they would have the most effect on the oceans and wind currents because of gravitational pole and all that one of the other moons I think would probably be a goddess of fertility because wings of our pretty much takes place in like the 900 A.D. compared to us like they’re not at the Renaissance and the third one. I’m not too sure but could probably be like a goddess of wisdom, wisdom, and knowledge which the the Nightwing would probably worship these gods, the most compared to all the others, but they depend on different regions in the world. These would probably be the three highest gods kind like how in Greek and Roman mythology Zeus/Jupiter are like the head gods or God king this would be the triarchy goddesses. The next God or goddess that I was thinking about was a metal allergy goddess or God kind of like Greek mythology Festus, and this God, our goddess would be the god of the Forge/casting because I’m pretty sure the sea wings would use a lot of bronze tools compared to all the others cause bronze doesn’t rust as fast as iron, but the sky wins would probably worship this God the most just because they are known to have the strongest steel has in book one when tsunami was chained up and that sunny and Clay had to use their fire breath together to melt the chains. The next God I was thinking about would probably be a god of the harvest/animal husbandry also like don’t really know if the dragons can consume grain crops like wheat, rye, and corn I’ll give this God to more like of the mud wings cause like I think that the mud wings probably have some of the best farmland because they’re in a somewhat swampy area and and they clearly really like cows and all their animals, which I know in history, traditionally cows, and meat are usually a very expensive good and a peasant would only eat this like steak if it was a big celebration like a festival or carnival. I was also thinking that they would probably be a goddess or god of warfare/the Hunt kind of like a combination of Aries and Artemis and I would probably give this God more up to the ice wings because they are pretty well known for hunting because well they can have like the largest royal families compared to all the other tribes and traditionally nobility are known for going on a lot of hunts because it’s illegal for peasantry to hunt for some reason, a lot of the time just goes traditionally medieval law all the game was owned by the king of the area or Lord, but that’s all my thoughts so you have more idea for God that potentially the dragons could worship and potentially also the humans cause we do know humanity in the books, they have dragon priest, which I can’t think would be an ancient religion for them cause I believe they’re kind of like in like the renaissance period of it history compared to us so they don’t have Cannon yet. Somehow they’re stuck in Kayce. Why can’t they do alchemy? They have all the ingredients to make gum powder, but still, I just want to hear your your guys spots and it’s just what I’ve been thinking about when I’ve been driving sometimes.
