i'm thinking a new breed, either modern or ancient, but that could be wishful thinking on my part. the way they talk about the reward as something "very special" makes me think its gotta be bigger than just a familiar or a scene.

(OP of question)

It could be a familiar or a scene because the real reward was the friends we made along the way! (lol, very hopefully only kidding)

on the dustcarve dig page velya mentions that one of the dragons is "edgar, a green unique looking dragon" - could be new breed?

Edgar is one of the courier dragons, so he's not exactly new. It would be interesting if the couriers got released as their own breed though!

as trivia, staff said in a q&a that couriers won't be obtainable in game because lore-wise they're supposed to be neutral parties

but they could always change their mind, so!

I could be misunderstanding what they're saying, but if they just meant that originally they wouldn't be released because they weren't associated with a specific flight, I would think with bogsneaks being neutral it could work now. Unless they mean that by having a courier in a clan they now have allegiance (to that user's flight) and can be exalted to serve that flight, which goes against their lore? But I mean, lore really doesn't affect the actual gameplay much - you can have twenty imperials in a clan and that's against their lore technically. You could have a coatl/fae clan, and they can barely communicate with each other.

I still hope they reconsider at some point though, because I really like couriers and have always wanted them to be obtainable. They look cute lol. They could maybe even make them an ancient breed or something.

Also! Intrigued by them mentioning they had a fairground game about the couriers planned. I don't think that got released, did it? Wonder if its still in the works.

ayrt

you could be right? i interpreted it as "these dragons won't be in-game because joining a clan that's aligned with a flight would go against their lore" but your interpretation could also be right. i definitely wouldnt mind having some couriers. their chubby cheeks are really cute.
