	~~===The Lonely Mountain Flight===~~
	For much of the last century of the Age of Mages, a fearsome dragonflight romed the norther end of the [[Lowland Plains]] region, known as the Lonely Mountain Flight. Their eerie was, of course, located on [[Lonely Mountain]]. The flight was ruthless, territorial, and considered fiercely intelligent.

	~~For nearly a century, the dragons of Lonely Mountain defended their territory against all comers, allowing only a handful of sparsely-populated villages to remain unharmed.~~

	But the flight had a secret: it was not a dragon flight at all. Rather, a collection of feral dragons, gathered from all over the continent, and controlled through magic. They were the minions of Finley Ray.

Finley Ray was a powerful sorceress who lived on the [[Lowland Plains]] during the second-half of the [[Mage Wars#The Second Chaotic Period|Second Chaotic Period]]. Very little is known about her, but she was believed to be over 150 years old at the time of her death, and to have traveled extensively in her youth.

==Early Life==
Finley was most likely born [[Ataya|Atayan]], although no record of her in Ataya exists(this is common for most people at the time, [[Uther]] himself had no birth-records). She probably lived in one of the minor outlying villages who's name and location are now lost.

She must have traveled extensively in her youth, as she told stories of Rowen clear down to the Erum Range, and even claimed to be an honorary member of the [[Kepama Plain#Kepakemapa People|Kepakemapa Tribe]]. Though her credibility was many times called into question, historians agree she was likely truthful about most of her journies. Uther himself even vouched for her, claiming she was there at the forging of [[Pendragon#Sword|Excalibur]].

If her great age is to be believed, Finley was probably born sometime around [[B.G.A.]] 140, or in roughly the middle of the [[Mage Wars#The Second Chaotic Period|Second Chaotic Period]].

Throughout the early part of her life, Finley traveled widely and became a powerful mage. A [[Mage Types#Wizard vs. Sorcerer|Sorceress]], to be precise. because while she alter lived in a tower, she never practiced tower-magic.
