Description
I have decided that I want to make a Wings of fire 'fan-continent' named Argema there will be 5 tribes, this one being sailwings.

Description:
  Sailwings are usually a light blue, red, or green. It is odd that they only come in those colors, and nothing in between, but that's just how they are. The most common colors are blue and green, whilst a few turn out red. Some Sailwings are darker than others, and these are called 'dark' the lighter ones are just average. sailwings are also usually one color all the same shade, save the fins and wings. Some, however, are both dark and light shades, the ones with this effect are called patterned, because of the swirling design it causes. Sailwing eyes color from teal to deep blue and their horns are always dark.
The most noticeable, and defining characteristic of the sailwings, is their extra fins. the fins are used for quick aerial turns, dives, and dodges, sometimes they can be used for swimming. the different sails have different names: the Top sail-fin, is the one running from their head to their shoulders; from there to the base of their tail is the sail-fin; from the base of their tail to the tip, is called the lower sail-fin. the one around their jaw to the chin is the chin-sail or the frill-sail. The flaps on their forearms are arm-fins. Arm-fins are part of one of their finger/talons that is extremely elongated and has a fin going up to the elbow. their most useful sail, the ones running down the length of their tail, are the length-sail, it is used while hunting, attacking/dodging enemies, and maneuvering. most of the time that fin stays closed though.

Abilities:
  Sailwings are amazing at flight, they have relatively wide wings, and the fins give them extra maneuverability. they also have a unique prey drive, that helps them lock onto one target speeding by. As soon as they sense prey, their body will automatically shift the fins, and send them toward it. other than that they don't have any unique abilities.

Habitat:
  Sailwings live on the seaside cliffs of Argema. these cliffs take up most of the coast(Instead of beaches) making their kingdom bigger than it would seem. The cliffs are always moist with salt spray, that doesn't bother them at all. the cliffs provide caves, crabs, seagulls, and seagull eggs. The ocean provides fish, water(they can drink salt water without being poisoned.) and seaweed.

Politics/culture:
   royalty and monarchy~ the queen of the Sailwings is queen albatross(not evil). she has several heirs and rules her kingdom fairly, if not timidly. To become queen, an heir has to challenge the queen to a duel. The fight is all in the sky, and the watchers sit on the cliffside. the challengers face each other and try to get them out of the air, the one who crashes into the sea, or rocks below is the one who loses.
Sailwings are pretty relaxed when it comes to monarchy, the queen rules and the rest obey. they live on all the coasts, The coasts to far to have immediate contact with the queen, are ruled by smaller generals, who are still, under the queen's control. only the queen's heirs may challenge for the throne.
occasions~ special times of the year have to do with the tides and moon. The lunar eclipse is one of the most important festivals. the night is spent celebrating and dining on rare fish delicacies. The reasons these times are celebrated are that the moon pulls in the tides. the tides often bring in new fish or objects. Any dragonets hatched during the time of lunar high tide, get the ability to control water, clouds, or mist.
Relations~ the Sailwings are a peaceful tribe, who stick to their own territory, and business. even occasionally trade. But some of the other tribes are not so dormant. The Ironwings are currently taking masses of territory from the cliff caves, stamping any resistance into oblivion as they conquer, and make their way closer to the royal palace..

Other:
Diet~ can be practically anything from the sea, fish, seaweed, shellfish, mollusks, crabs, more fish, and the like
housing~ They live in the seaside caves, often with woven coverings over the openings, and dry seaweed mats as beds.
water~ Because they live by the sea, there is not much fresh water. this does not matter to the sailwings though, slowly over time, they developed more tolerance for saltwater. the problem is, that they have to have as much salt as the water provided, without it they can get extremely sick.
Hybrids~ Hybrids with them are possible to any tribe. sailwing hybrids will often have the sails, or fins that sailwings use, though they are usually smaller or shorter.
