I was challenged to write something using the story prompt: Family Heirloom. I didn't feel like writing about heirlooms, so I pretended to hear "air looms". The result was this little random piece of lore.
The Wind Weaving Woman
Also known as the Wind Weaver, this person is said to control the winds of the sea. She is a celestial figure that lives among the clouds, weaving the pattern of the wind on a magnificent loom of light. Sailors and their wives often entreat this goddess for mercy during storms and beg of her that she weave a favorable gust for the many sailors and fishermen out at sea. Sailors from areas that revere The Wind Weaving Woman typically carry spindles with them when sailing for they believe that this gives them her protection. Referring to the Wind Weaving Woman as Triple Dubs is looked down upon.
Interesting side note, the Air Loom is a thing. Sort of. There was this man named James Tilly Matthews who probably had a case of paranoid schizophrenia. He believed that a gang of criminals were mind controlling him and important political figures with a strange device called the Air Loom. The gang had a bunch of members with different names like “The Middleman” and “The King” and he said that the Air Loom was a gaseous charge generator and that it used magnetic rays to torture him. He was actually caught in France during the Terror and was threatened with the guillotine, but the French released him because they thought he was a Lunatic. He was in a psychiatric hospital for a while and seemingly recovered there while also providing information for the government on how well asylums treated their patients.
It was also a type of chromatic dragon from earlier editions. There were also orange and brown chromatic dragons, as well as several different metallic dragons, such as mercury and steel.
Dungeon Dad is doing a series on monsters from older editions on YouTube, and he's already covered all the obscure chromatic ones.

The Chromatic Purple Dragon has always been synonymous with the Deep Dragon. They just redesigned the look for 5e, but its still the same purple dragon.
I love the lore everyone's posting

I really like D&D, especially Ravenloft, Exandria and the Upside Down from Stranger Things. My pronouns are she/they (genderfae).

There’s also a pink dragon, but that was more of a joke.
