Some of Alexia's Hex Larva have grown enough to be big monstrous Mutated Hex Insects! It is said that a simple buzz of their wings are powerful enough to destroy an entire army of Alice's binary warriors!


Each side's forces continue to grow more powerful by the minute! Who will prevail in this War for the Moon? Go help your team at the Palace of Alexia!

Strength does not increase after each fight with these monsters.

Flight Rising: 12th Anniversary: Tailoring Feature

The overlaid text reads New Crafting Feature: Sophie's Splendid Stitches. There is a green and pink Everlux dragon with many legs, a large central curved horn, antennae, green nature eyes, and a mauve kerchief.

How Far We've Come

We're here with you to celebrate twelve successful years together. The community that has been fostered and the creativity of the dragon clans of Sornieth continues to surprise and delight us each day. While the world around us is ever-changing, it is a joy to be able to return to Flight Rising each day to continue to build this world of fantasy, friendship, and dragons!

Sophie the Everlux dragon spins fiber into thread at her spinning wheel. She consults her book on fiber arts as she creates this new thread.


New Craft: Tailoring 145.png
Sophie's Splendid Stitches is our brand new tailoring feature. Dragon clans can turn their unwanted items into thread. This thread can be used in sewing patterns to create new color variations of apparel. As your clan advances in skill (under Sophie's guidance) they will have access to more patterns, allowing them an even greater range of garments for your fashionistas to wear!


Dragons may bring their extra items to Sophie, who will spin their trash into treasure!

  • Food*, Materials, and Trinkets can be spun into Simple Thread. They will spin into simple thread every time. There is no randomness in Sophie's skilled hands, and she has so many of them!
  • Familiars* and Apparel can be spun into Fine Thread. They will spin into fine thread every time.


*As always, the lore behind the reduction of any living thing into a material is that the creature is donating hair, fur, scales, or scraps to the creation of the item.


This shop will be a year-round fixture in the Trading Post, and is launching with 3 levels of tailoring to practice your skills with. As it will take some time for dragon clans to advance in skills alongside Sophie, we opted to keep the initial amount of tailoring levels more manageable. That said, we will be adding more tailoring levels and patterns in future updates this year. We may have heard a rumor that more advanced patterns may become available as soon as Sunparched Prowl... but don't tell anyone we told you.
