Explanation of Name: We wanted something that would spell out [NERD], but something that has a cool and interesting meaning. We decided Dragons are the epitome of cool, so the D would have to stand for Dragon. We tossed around ideas for quite some time, but then it hit me: Latin is cool AND nerdy!! Now, I realize that the word Draconis would be more correct, as the Latin word for dragon is actually draco and thus its genitive case would be draconis... but draco also connotes snake, from what I've read, and it sounds kinda like draconian which has other implications like cruelty or harshness. We pondered the difference between the sound of the two choices... Dragonis vs Draconis... and decided to go with Dragonis.  Cape: My vote was for something without colour, because my characters are each themed around a different colour. So, black and white and grey and silver were all okay... and what you see on the right is the final decision! :)  Purpose: So far, its main purpose is for me to communicate with my sister if we're not grouped together.  We haven't thought much about what we stand for, except the awesomeness of Dragons.  Neither of us were interested in being a part of a big guild, and GvG is a very distant dream.  We just wanted some kind of interesting name to be associated with our characters, and a cape, because cape design seemed like fun.  Guild Hall:  We'll probably eventually aim to get a Guild Hall, because some of them do look pretty cool.  My favourite so far is the Isle of Weeping Stone, but my sister had two others that she liked that she suggested I check out.  So, we'll see!
