The Plot of DRAGONS: EXODUS
Dragons: Exodus is an AU of How to Train Your Dragon, meaning that parts of the canon plot and setting have been modified. This has been done to create an ongoing narrative and allow for us to explore the world in new and interesting ways, both within the Archipelago and beyond. The entirety of the Archipelago, as well as the rest of the world, lies ripe for the taking, and the characters within will conflict with one another in ways that push the story forward. The story begins one year after the events of the third film (HTTYD: The Hidden World).
So what's different?
- The movie's plot progressed differently. The conflict with Grimmel lasted months, and resulted in the emergency evacuation of Old Berk amidst burning rubble and toxic smoke. New Berk's location is a closely-kept secret, and the people within still live a dragon-rich life; rescued dragons are now sent to the Hidden World instead of Berk, but aside from this, not much of their lifestyle has changed.
- No romantic relationships within the films are canon unless decided upon the players. This includes Hiccstrid and Nightlight, as well as any other minor ships. Stalka is the only exclusion. This means that there are no ship children, weddings, or other affairs. This gives relationships a chance to develop naturally between players, and aids those who do not want to roleplay romance or such similar material.
- Exodus is set in an alt-Earth with completely different continents, cultures, and creatures. Forget Germany and Britain - we've got something better. This means that there will be never-before-seen locations and peoples. Information on them can be found in the Lore Masterpost.
- Some canon dragon species have been modified and/or otherwise provided with extra information. Fan species are allowed. As of right now, the only heavily-modified species is the Light Fury, which has received a complete redux. If you want to create a dragon species of your own, ask about it here or on the Discord.
That's all for now! This thread will continue to receive updates if any other important information comes to light. Make sure to check out the Lore Masterpost for information on the Archipelago and the world beyond. Happy flying!
