Change[]

In the end it currently reads "a clan of Dragons emerges".

Clan usually means family. Since we have no information on the relation between the Dragons that came through, I think "a group of Dragons" or "several Dragons" would fit better.

I researched this before adding it. One of the many names for a group of Dragons is "clan". Among others are "flight", "rage" and "weyr". I thought clan was the best. If you don't like what is given, take your pick from those.

i.e. A group of fish is called a "school". The correct way to refer to a group of fish is to say "a school of fish", not "a group of fish".

In that case my vote would go to "flight"

Then I will change it to "flight", if that makes it less confusing.

A group of dragons is called a thunder though, so shouldn't it be called a thunder of dragons?

There's like 4 different terms for a group of dragons, we chose flight.

Why is it called History[]

I have two questions regarding this page, but I'm not sure what title I should put it... So... here it goes.

Why does the image of the Eclipse Gate need a side view? I really don't see the point of it, it's not like someone was wondering what the side of the gate looks like... and if there is a side view for this object... why can't we have a side view, a birds eye view, a rear view for ever single building that exists in Fairy Tail??

Another thing, why is the section of the page called "History"? It's not like the things happened a long time ago... it only began happening on the 4th day of the tournament (according to what it says under the "history section") so history sounds really old.

More than one?[]

When the article directs itself to the Grand Magic Games arc, it states that a "different Gate" than the one used to bring Kid Natsu and friends was used. Is there any fact to that statement?--Observer Supreme 18:45, May 6, 2016 (UTC)

Can't remember the chapter but Arcadios said that the Royal Family constructed their own Eclipse Gate, the one F Lucy and F Rogue used Ncduru 18:52, May 6, 2016 (UTC)

Just like that. Arcadios stated that the Royal Family used information from "The Book of Zeref" (in hindsight, "one of the Books of Zeref" would have been more fitting :P, but he said "The Book") to construct the gate themselves. He definitely talked about building it, not finding and then recharging it, but building it themselves. NoNickNeeded (talk) 19:03, May 6, 2016 (UTC)

thx, been wondering this too. I remember him saying something lik this. Can someone find the chapter and source it on the page?--73.191.17.103 19:15, May 6, 2016 (UTC)

I'd appreciate it.--Observer Supreme 21:24, May 6, 2016 (UTC)

How goes the search? I think the best spot to look at is the arc it's introduced in.--Observer Supreme 14:32, May 9, 2016 (UTC)

Any reason why you don't look yourself, especially with you already having a rough idea of where to find the info? NoNickNeeded (talk) 14:55, May 9, 2016 (UTC)

Well, the manga is huge. I figured some more activity from those who have more experience with Fairy Tail than I do would help.--Observer Supreme 16:12, May 9, 2016 (UTC)
