description

Ahri'Tahmuk's, an ancient reptilian creature from beyond Sonaria's atmosphere, 3 heads and large shadow strike fear into Sonaria's residents, a warning to stay far away.

behavior

Ahri'Tahmuk can be found all over Sonaria, though typically prefer areas with little seasonal change, such as the desert, tundra region, or volcanic environments. Ahri'Tahmuk originally start rather 'dumb,' gaining knowledge as she grow and adapt to Sonaria, similar in a way to humans. If one of her head is cut off, the regrown head will start with its base knowledge, essentially having to relearn everything it previously knew. Lore-Wise, Ahri'Tahmuk's middle head has never been cut off, thus making it the smartest of the creature's three heads. its teaches new heads when they form. Each head of Ahri'Tahmuk has a different personality; her main head has a typically calm personality, though is aggressive when threatened. The other heads have more of an innocent, childlike personality. Ahri'Tahmuk is an opportunistic, passive hunter, rarely killing more than is needed unless stocking up for the winter months. Because of this diet style, she can also tolerate rotten meat. Ahri'Tahmuk typically will 'cook' her meat before eating it.

facts/headcanons

Ahri'Tahmuk was an apex carnivore predator from an alternate universe whose composition was different from the one we know. she lived on a faraway, scorching-hot, wasteland planet; until her sun went supernova. Somehow, Ahri'Tahmuk survived this cataclysm, and got ejected from the explosive power into Sonaria's universe, towards the World of Sonaria. Ahri'Tahmuk also survived re-entry and collision with Sonaria without a scratch.

appearance

Ahri'Tahmuk is a large, slim wyvern-like creature. her primary colors include multiple shades of red and brown, with the main body being brown on top and lighter brown underneath. she has three heads, each with four red pupil-less eyes, cheeks lined with spikes, sharp teeth of various sizes, a snout flap that opens when she sniffs or displays aggression, and sets of unique horns. The head on her right has forward-pointing horns and another pair pointing backward; the middle head has jagged axe-like horns extending outward and pointing forward; and the left head has two pairs of backward-pointing horns with upward-curving tips. Ahri'Tahmuk's elongated necks, back, and chest are covered in intricately designed plates. she has large wings, and a pair of spiny fins at the base of the tail that assist her during flight, both studded with sharp claws. her wing-walk is similar to bats or most pterosaurs. Also, she has two legs, each with three toes and a long, sharp dewclaw. At the rear is a long tail that splits into three sections at the end, each featuring a smaller, non-active head with similar features to the main head, including one pair of unique horns, two sets of red pupil-less eyes, four teeth (two at the top and two at the bottom), and two "neck" plates. she also has an additional smaller fin between their shoulders and one extra pattern on the plates on each of her necks.

active abilities

ambush, flight, glide, powerful jaws with which it can grab prey and she's capable of spewing flames.

passive abilities

bleed block/block bleed, burn block/block burn, block necropoison, burn attack is an ability that offensively deals burn when biting, poison attacks/melee venom.

personality

Ahri'Tahmuk's personalities vary depending on which head is in control. The right head, Zorn, is aggressive and quick to anger. The middle head, Sinn, is more reserved and thinks before speaking, but she can also be aggressive if she doesn't like something or in case of a threat. The left head, Ruhk, is the calmest and often has to mediate between Zorn and Sinn. However, Ahri'Tahmuk most adheres to a more isolated/lonely life and her behavior shows a somewhat inflated ego about herself. She is very proud of herself and will not tolerate insults. Ahri'Tahmuk also seems to have relatively sadistic tendencies, grinning with all her fangs when her hunt succeeds.

facts/headcanons2

Tahmukh is female and the heads themselves are also purely physically female.

Sonaria lore

Sonaria is the primary world. The world consists of one island with different biomes and vast bodies of water that create deep tunnels and underwater caves. It is also the place where weather patterns and other main events occur, such as migration and etc.While lore-wise, Sonaria's true form may vary; Sonaria in-game is akin to Thales of Miletus' Cosmological model, a flat disk or mound of land and dirt which is floating in an expanse of water; with the land and water floating stationary in space, orbited by its sun and moon; unlike Earth. The part of the Ocean which surrounds all the landmasses is usually called by fellow wanderers as the Surrounding Sea, the Ekkaia or Panthalassa, depending on the source whom you ask. Normally, when unaffected by special weathers or abilities, the Mainland is divided into 4 main continents/Islands (the only difference between them is that a continent holds more than a single mostly-terrestrial biome): Volcano Island to the North-east (official name), the Jungle-Pride Continent to the North-west, Forgotten Cove Continent to the East, and Gondwana (the three are fan-names), the biggest of them all, to the South, with the Seas between them forming a (Sea) Crux that meets in-between, roughly shaped like a plus (+) symbol. Apart from this, Recode Sonaria possess time-space distortions known as portals, which allow traverse from one point of the map to another, coming in bidirectional pairs. Currently there are 5 pairs of portals: Arcane/Strange (green), Mysterious/Cryptic (red), Mysterious/Unknown (yellow), Unknown/Unknown (blue) and Cryptic/Unknown (blue) - albeit the latter seems to only open during certain lore-related events.

Sonaria lore2

Recode's climate and weather can turn far more extreme than Legacy's, and water and air currents are common. The flow of seasons and the passage of time occurs at an exceptionally rapid pace, a phenomenon likely attributed to the intervention of the Wardens, who have multiple Warden Shrines scattered throughout the map. Recode's orography is vastly different from Legacy map, something which combined with the more realistic physics as well as some additional gameplay features which affect the map, adds an extra level of complexity when travelling and when differentiating the orography on the new Sonaria.

Algae Sandbar: Algae Sandbar is a biome located on the northeast of Sonaria, and contains both the water canal in that area, as well as some of the surrounding land on the shore. It is limited on the North by the Jungle, and the South by the Swamp Hill and Redwoods, to the North-East by Pride Rocks, to the South-East by Central Rockfaces, and if a creature travels to the East, they'll eventually reach Rocky Drop through the Western side of the Sea Crux. It also connects with the Swampy-Tundra River to the South, and the Ekkaia (Surrounding Sea) to the Northwest. If you travel a bit to the north, nearing its edge with the Jungle, a portal which leads to the Swamp Hill can be found. Central Rockfaces: Central Rockfaces is a well-connected, mostly terrestrial biome exactly on the center of the map, in Northern Gondwana, which limits to the West with Redwoods, North-West with Algae Sandbar, to the North-East with Rocky Drop through its rocky and arch-filled cliffs, to the South-East with desert and to the South with Mountains. Additionally, depending on how low the tides are and what season, especially during Winter and lower tides, it can practically connect with every other continent and major island through temporary land or ice bridges: At the western limit between Redwoods and Central Rockfaces, a land bridge connects with the Jungle-Pride continent to the southern regions of the Jungle). Another bridge on its North connects with Pride Rocks region. To the North-East, an ice bridge may be used to travel to the Volcano Island region, but probably only one-way. To the East, a land bridge may sometimes connect Flower Cove Region and this one bidirectionally. This region is quite known not only for its position, but for its green grass and sparse trees that cover most of its territory, and its giant lake, which connects to the sea and a small (but extensively decorated) hiding place underneath.

Central Rockfaces: This region is quite known not only for its position, but for its green grass and sparse trees that cover most of its territory, and its giant lake, which connects to the sea and a small (but extensively decorated) hiding place underneath. Several rock formations and caves cover this area, especially around its main lake, and food and water sources are plentiful. Towards the south and specially its south-east, the orography becomes more desertic and accidental, with small canyons that make it clear that most of this region is located in a promontory (at least, when compared with most of the nearby Desert) and several rock bridges that connect to rocky formations that later become the foothills and highlands of the Mountains Region. On its South-East coast, a giant rib skeleton can be found as well. Coral Reef: Coral Reef is a mostly water-based biome that encompasses the Eastern Arm of the central Sea Crux, up to the area where the Novus Warden's Shrine Island is located (sharing it with Rocky Drop Biome), as well as part of the fringe areas of South-West Volcano Island. As such, it limits to the North with Volcano Island, to the South with Flower Cove, to the West with Rocky Drop, and to the East with the Ekkaia. With the exclusion of the aforementioned floating island, most of its areas are not very deep, and have a slow slope, at least until reaching the center of the Sea Crux itself, where tremendous depths await the creature; with the Region working as a transitioning point between the continental platform and the Abyss. Several small caves and crevices can be found, some of them leading to a few significant areas in other regions, such as the Volcano Island Lake, or an alternative hiding place for deep sea creatures. Food can be found in most levels, but not freshwater to drink, except on the Shrine Island.

Desert: Desert Biome is a biome located in the Southeast area of the map, in the Desertic Region of Gondwana Continent, being the most oriental area of this continent. It limits with Central Rockfaces Region to the Northwest, Mountains Region to the West, Mesa Region to the West-Southwest, Grassy Shoal and Seaweed Depths to the North-east, and connected via a temporary bridge with Flower Cove to the North-east, and via another temporary bridge with Forgotten Shores to the East. The Desertic Region is mostly a sandy dune and relatively plain area, devoid of food and water. Sand is coarse, rough and gets everywhere. Nobody would want to live there permanently, apart from creatures built specifically for this region. Even worse for terrestrials, none of this area is really wholly safe, since most of the area is close to nominal sea levels and easily isolates itself at first (since there's a surrounding mostly-dry-set of riverbeds crossing from the grassy shore area to the mesa and to the Ekkaia) and then sinks under the sea under the effect of floods with no refuge. Being such a vast dune-filled region, it works as a trap when this phenomena occur and guarantees many terrestrials drown. However, there are some orographic regions of interest, such as an inselberg butte on the central area (albeit slightly offset to the Southeast) which holds some food (including berries) and water and may offer shelter and refuge against some of the mildest floods, and the limit areas to the Northwest and West, which offer a much richer environment orography-wise full of canyons, a bit more food, mountainous enough to protect against floods, have some caves to refuge inside and an additional water drinking spot, and hide the Hellion Warden's Shrine, shared in terms of orography with the Mesa. Inside the oasis pond depths, a portal which leads to the Grassy Shoal can be found.

Flower Cove: Flower Cove Biome is a terrestrial Biome located on the central area of the Flower Cove Island Region, but not covering the outskirts of the Island, with some of the most southward areas being under the Grassy Shoal biome jurisdiction. The Flower Cove Area limits to the North with the Volcanic Island through a temporary land bridge and a very shallow water and archipelago area called the Nursery (to the North-East), to the North-Northwest with Coral Reef, to the Northwest with Rocky Drop, to the West with Seaweed Depths, South and South-East with Forgotten Shores and South-West with Grassy Shoal, and connected with the Desert Biome in Gondwana through a temporary land bridge. Flower Cove is known for being an intricate grassy region full of interesting orography accidents, such as cliffs, rock archs, stacks and rauks; and herbaceous tropical and subtropical flora, full of fruits, water and carcasses. On its core north-east side, and due to the lore-wise preferences of the Verdant Warden, we can locate the Verdant Warden's Shrine. Flower Cove Region can be divided in two areas: central Flower Cove Plateau, and Outskirts Flower Cove. The Flower Cove Plateau is elevated over the rest and is where most of the high rock archs converge, even if it's far higher than the rest of the plateau. The plateau only has one drinkable spot, while the outskirts have a few at the north-east and to the south-west, where the biggest drinking lake of this region can be found connected to the Grassy Shoal. Those higher archs can be accessed by a terrestrial through a double-arch bridge connected with the Shrine, leading to an island to the East, to later climb one of the largest archs. There's a smaller arch coming from the outskirts and towards grassy shoal, which can be used as a smaller gap between Flower Cove and Desert when the tides are high. Flower Cove presents two hidden caves under the plateau.

Forgotten Shores: Forgotten Shores whose terrain emerged South of the Flower Cove biome and fused with the Flower Cove Island, forming the Forgotten Cove Continent through an isthm. It limits to the North with Grassy Shoal and Flower Cove, and to the North-West with Desert Oasis. Several archs, stacks and submarine archs can be approciated on its extension, including two archipielago chain of stacks on the northeast and south. Unlike other close-to-sea-level terrestrial biomes, several of these rock archs seem to be affected by an anti-gravity effect, leaving several crumbled rocks floating. Despite being a terrestrial biome, its island and mission area of jurisdiction also encompasses several aquatic areas, including submarine water tunnels, several hidden caves, land bridges between the other nearby biomes, and most importatly, a huge shallow salt lake in the middle of its biome area, Paratethys (again, a fan-name), with a portal which leads to the desertic oasis inside. This shallow lake subdivides the main Forgotten shores landmass further: Northern, Southeast and Southwest shores, with the isthmus between these being in a geographic depression, albeit less intense that the temporary land bridge between Southwest shores and desert, meaning those bridges are very rarely fully submerged (and, in fact, Southwest and Southeast shores are directly connected via a great elevated arch). Excluding those bridge areas, the coasts that limit with this shallow sea are steep and partially resemble promontories. All sub-areas have at least one drinkable lake of its own.

Jungle: The Jungle biome is located to the Far North-West of the map, on Western Jungle-Pride continent. It limits to the North and West with the Surrounding Sea (separated from it by a set of cliffs and small rocky formations), to the East with the Pride Rocks Region, and to the South with Algae Sandbar (with its archway and stack region being over a cliff) and connected through a temporary land bridge practically on the Pride Rocks Region with Redwoods and Central Rockfaces. This fairly humid region is known for its uneven terrain full of rock formations of any shape and size (with their subsequent crevices, caves and hiding places) being shrouded in trees and tropical foliage (albeit at a lower apparent density than Swamp Hill), offering both fruit and berries and meat to consume. When entering this region, the screen will temporarily gain a greenish tint, stronger during the flowering weather. It is also on the Jungle Region where Angelic Warden's Shrine is located, perhaps related with how in their canon behaviour, both this Warden and Eigion Warden show contempt to avatars of each other, and thus remain fairly apart.

The Mesa Biome is the southernmost biome in the Gondwana continent, and is located between the Desert Region in the East and the Mountains Biome in the West, and has a small part of the Southeast Mountain Region under its control. Orographically speaking, this Mesa is similar a Piedmont Dissected Plateau, a high area where hydric and air erosion left a flat area cut by multiple riverbeds and escarpments revealing the flat-laying strata; as well as several tors and balancing rocks. While there's no real river here, the dry riverbed from the north finally fills with some saltwater from the Surrounding Sea, bisecting the area in a Western and Eastern area with a deep canyon (albeit bridges by different archs, some of them accessible from the Mountains Region), with the West area being richer in food, mud, flora and drinkable water sources (with the most notable fresh-water source being there, and connected to the estuary of the riverbed), some areas being able to support a steppe and the highest ones being a cold and with some ice, likely influenced by the more temperate climate of the Mountains, while still looking mildly desertic. Both regions additionally present buttes and geographical accidents full of hidden crevices and caves, perfect to ambush and hide. Its specific geography also allows for a breathtaking view of the rest of the map (albeit the best area is one whose access is mostly limited to secret passages, Mountain Biome passages and the odd Desert passage), while being capable of rapidly detecting an incoming flood and going to higher ground and not leaving many isolated islands while the mildest floods develop. However with a high-enough flood even the main drinkable water spot at Mesa will be underseas. Below the river, and if a creature moves downward, they may find RibCave Cage (fan-name), wherein lies a giant skeletal leviathan ribcage.

Redwoods: Redwoods is a biome located on the Middle West, on the Gondwana Continent, that encompasses the Redwoods Region, as well as a very small part of western Central Rockfaces to the East. The Redwoods region is limited by the Algae Sandbar to the North, Tundra to the South, Central Rockfaces to the East, the Mountains Region to the South-West (with a great slope and escarpments complicating access) and the Swampy Tundra river and the Swamp Hill to the West. When a low-enough tide happens, a land bridge may also connect this area with the Jungle-Pride continent to the north via a temporary land bridge. Redwoods is a muddy-like, slightly cold biome with a mostly-plain orography and close to base sea-level, with the most prominent geographical accidents being the few tors scattered through the mushroom-filled sequoia forest that usually have a small-sized freshwater source, none of them connected to the sea, and small crevices and tunnels leading in and out. Several food sources can be found here, albeit more densely than Tundra's.

Swamp Hill: Swamp Hill is a biome located on the Far West of Sonaria, in the Gondwana continent, connected to the South with the Tundra Region, separated by the Swampy Tundra (fan-name) River from Redwoods Region to the East, and limited by the Algae Sandbar Region to the North. This humid area is known for having a dense tree foliage over the area, a generally-muddy look; a small inner island surrounded by an inner lake, which hides a green portal leading to Algae Sandbar underneath its sediments; and its Ardor Warden's Shrine located at Cape Finisterre (fan-name of the most westbound terrain area of a major landmark, excluding some icebergs), probably placed on this region since this warden has always had its shrine in swampy areas. Freshwater is quite abundant (even if it's mildly hard to find the appropriate spot to drink), albeit food sustenance is not nearly as common.

Sonaria lore12 +bioms

Tundra: Tundra is a biome located on the Far South-West of Sonaria, in the Gondwana continent, and encompasses most of the Tundra Region. The Tundra Region limits to the North-Northwest with Swamp Hill, directly connected to it through a bridge which hovers above the Swampy-Tundra river fjörd that separates the rest of Swamp Hill from Tundra; to the North with Redwoods, and to the East with Mountains Biome. On here, the flora slowly changes from coniferous on the most septentrional areas, to herbaceous plants and finally bare snow with some rocks on the southernmost and more highly-elevated areas. Upon entry, the area will look slightly foggy with a faint snow effect, even on a clear skies day. Drinkable water sources are relatively scarce, with most of the water being frozen solid, and food primarily consists of berries, the scarce grass patch, and some ribs and carcasses. However, this area can be a paradise for creatures prepared for the cold, full of crevices and caves inside their mountainous and abrupt regions (and even a cave system inside the freshwater lakes), well-hidden and sheltered defensive spots for all sizes.

Volcano Island: Volcano Island is a biome located on the Far North-Northeast of Sonaria, and encompasses most of the Volcanic Island Region, except some areas on its NorthWest which connect to a temporary land bridge to Pride Rocks Region; an Area to its SouthEast that has some drinkable water and connects to the South through a temporary land bridge to Flower Cove Island Region; a fringe shore area on its SouthWest, which is considered part of the Coral Reef Biome, and a very shallow water and archipelago area called the Nursery, to the North-East. Volcanic Island Region is known for being the only of two places where creatures can find lava (the only other two places are one under the map, on a magmatic chamber, which does not count as being "magma"; and another on a passage between pride rocks and the sea located to the West of Volcano Island) in several puddles to the North-West and South-East and inside the volcanic chamber and crater; and the tunnel-ridden volcano, with some chambers holding drinkable water, game easter eggs (such as the giant Leviathan skeleton to the East), some event-related hidden secrets, and the Garra Warden's Shrine on the main chamber, where lava can be seen overflowing in a cascade. Its terrain presents multiple archs on its northwest, where a hidden cave was located until recently. Drinkable water can be found on its South-West (connected to the central ocean area, specifically the Coral Reef Biome), South-East and in a small chamber on the north-west slope of the volcano, while food of multiple sources can be found primarily on its South and West areas. While it is true that lava levels on the main crater work as an indicator of how close Sonaria is to a Volcanic Eruption, the lava that indicates such level is actually a very thin layer and only crossing it may deal burn and ashy lungs, the space in between the lava at the depth of the crater and indicator will not hurt.
