Hello! Welcome to A Guide to the Dragon World in my edition! I have the original book and will be using that as reference but in case you don't want to buy it here's a version that you can read. Not all of it will be canon but most of it will.
There will solely be CANON ships in this! Mostly lots of Moonbli, Glorybringer, Ripnami, Blicket, and Lunatail. If you don't like those I suggest going somewhere else.
So... grab some snacks and prepare for a lot of sarcasm, witty retorts and interactions between your favorite WoF characters!
(P.S I take requests! Feel free to ask in the comments or on my mw!)
Introduction[]
Last, time the Dragonets of Destiny came together and wrote the book. This time however, we are doing a little council thingy of every important person! Of course we included the dragonets, the Jade Winglet, the queens, and the dragons who destroyed the breath of evil! This should be more inclusive!
(aka we have SIDE CHARACTERS)
We have included everybody and I mean everybody who's anybody. So let's begin!
-Fatespeaker
Pyrrhia[]
Pyrrhia by Mike Schely from the canon graphic novels
Narrated by Queen Glory of the RainWings and Qibli of the SandWings, written by Fatespeaker of the NightWings and edited by Starflight of the NightWings and Sunny of the SandWings
Queen Glory: I've been everywhere in Pyrrhia. And by that I mean everywhere. Every kingdom, every territory, every-
Qibi: No you haven't.
Glory: Yes I have Qibli, what are you talking about?
Qibli: Have you been to Possibility? Stonemover's cave? The Scorpion Den?
Glory: ...
Qibli: Exactly. That's why we are both working on this right? You do the kingdoms while I chill here and also annoy you when I feel the need to.
Glory: Qibli.
Qibli: What?
Glory: I- ugh never mind. So let's start shall we?
The Mud Kingdom[]
Assisted by Umber and Sora of the MudWings
Glory: I don't know much about the Mud Kingdom but I'll tell you what I know:
When me and Clay were going into the Mud Kingdom when we first came out of the mountain, we discovered that MudWings live in loyal little groups of siblings-
Umber: And I've seen some groups lose so many siblings they have to get together with other groups as unsibs! Horrifying isn't it?
Qibli: Oh can I get a sibling exterminator? I have two terrible siblings I want to get rid of.
Glory: Qibli.
Qibli: What?
Glory: Anyways, we saw them working together to catch prey, sleeping together, training for battle together-
Sora: Gah! Don't mention that!
Glory: What?
Qibli: Crane, remember?
Glory: No...
Qibli: Right you weren't there for that. Hmmm...
Glory: Oh. Right. Her. Now stop interrupting me.
Qibli: You aren't my queen
Umber: *trying very hard not to laugh*
Glory: *epic eye roll* nobody cares. Anyways, they form groups of siblings of huge numbers and live like that together. They would build mounds of mud to sleep together in and just pile up together into a snug heap. Now that I'm describing it I'm glad I am not a MudWing.
Umber: Should I be offended?
Qibli: No. Actually, wait. Yes.
Glory: Umber, do all MudWings have a huge appetite?
Umber: Why do you ask?
Glory: Really.
Qibli: I can't- *openly laughing*
Umber: Not every MudWing. Sora doesn't eat much. I'm not sure if it's because she is just thin or if it's trauma.
Sora: *mumbling* just not hungry.
Glory: Alright. Then can you explain why in the world Clay has such big of an appetite?
Umber: ...excuse me?
Glory: Like... you know... Oh well. Moving on. While the others were all busy working on the school, I had to make diplomatic trips to the other kingdoms since I was an official queen. At the MudWing palace Queen Moorhen treated me to a dinner of cows and a lot of other food. Does this symbolize your tribe loves eating?
Umber: Why are you even asking that so much.
Qibli: ...isn't it obvious. It-
Glory: Nevermind. Qibli, why are you even talking. You've never been to the Mud Kingdom before.
Qibli: Everybody loves hearing me talk. *wink*
Glory: *eye roll* Try me.
Umber: Hey guys aren't we supposed to be talking about my tribe?
Glory: Right. *glares at Qibli* So I gather you eat cows a lot.
Umber: Correct!
Glory: And I've seen you catch crocodiles.
Umber: Yes we have.
Glory: So tell me, which food is less addictive?
Qibli: Would you stop with the Clay talk.
Glory: Would you stop with the talking altogether.
Qibli: ...how about no.
Glory: Ugh. This partnering system was a terrible idea. Who came up with this?
Umber: I don't know.
Sora: That NightWing.
Glory: What NightWing? I have a few suspects in mind.
Qibli: I do too.
Glory: Really?
Qibli: No. I have more than a few.
Glory: *sigh* We all have the smart answers today it seems. Alright Sora. Who?
Sora: H-he has black scales. And he's an adult.
Qibli: You are describing all NightWing adults.
Umber: Sorry about that. Sora is very nervous about talking. Even more now.
Glory: Black scales... adult... very idiotic... probably likes messing with me... yup. Deathbringer when I get back you will regret ever being born.
Qibli: I just noticed something... if Deathbringer is an adult and you just became an adult and you're engaged...
Umber: Oh my gods...
Glory: WE ARE NOT ENGAGED.
Qibli: Keep telling yourself that.
Glory: WE CAME TO TALK ABOUT MUDWINGS SO THAT IS WHAT WE'LL DO. Alright, I'm done. Umber, take it from here. *storms out of the room probably to kill Deathbringer.*
Qibli: That went well.
Umber: *totally ignores what just happened* I don't know anything about the queen's palace, I am a commoner but I can confirm everything Glory said is true. We do indeed stick close. I would describe the pain it is to lose one of us but-
Sora: No! Don't!
Umber: Exactly.
Qibli: Awesome. We have like zero information. Let's move on to some of our better informed dragons.
Surprise! They don't exist. (something is wrong)
Qibli: Ok that sucks. I suppose we should just let Fatespeaker take it from here.

The Mud Kingdom by Mike Schely from a Guide to the Dragon World
Queen Moorhen's Palace is really close to the rainforest according to the map like almost touching. It looks all formal and regal and I can confirm it is since I have seen it in real life. It has domes and stuff. Not what I expected but WOW that thing was fancy. Way fancier than the SandWing palace or NightWing palace or that boring Talons of Peace hideout like CLAW ME TO DEATH ALREADY but don't tell any of the designers I said that! They will actually claw me to death!
The Diamond Spray Delta is something we shouldn't be talking about. It mean just another patch of mud except given a sparkly name. It is the closest to the Sky Kingdom that is more famous for it's jewels and glam from Queen Scarlet's reign(you'd be shocked how much of this I learned from hanging around Starflight well maybe not but anyways) That doesn't make it sparkly give it a different name.
OH WOW! SHE USED MY WRITING STYLE! -Kinkajou
Oh no... -Moon
Kinkajou has a writing style? -Winter
KINKAJOU CAN WRITE? -Peril
Guys, I'm offended. -Kinkajou
Yes and we care. -Winter
Winter! -Everybody else
You guys didn't invite me? -Qibli
The Kingdom of Sand[]
Assisted by Sunny of the SandWings
Qibli: We don't need Sunny here. I'm perfectly capable of explaining the entire kingdom myself-
Glory: Yes we do. Now be quiet and I'll start.
The Sand Kingdom can be described as an expanse of desert covered in... sand. It is dotted with cacti and generally very hot and lacking water and color. The only spots of sanctuary are the oases scattered around that are pools of water surrounded by vegetation. The Sand Kingdom-
Qibli: Boo. You're sounding like a geography teacher right now.
Glory: That's what I'm trying to sound like.
Sunny: *snorf* I think she sounds perfectly logical!
Qibli: Maybe. But sometimes that just takes all the fun out of it. Except me. Only I can master the complicated concept of being logical and funny at the same time.
Glory: Sure, maybe from having a big head.
Qibli: Excuse me?
Sunny: Oh dear. I'm not sure the partners were picked very well.
Glory: Tell me about it.
Qibli: This is more fun than annoying Winter.
Sunny: Should I be concerned?
Glory: YES.
Qibli: NO.
Glory: *clears throat* enough arguing. I have been on a diplomatic trip to Queen Thorn-
Qibli: -the best queen in all of Pyrrhia and Pantala-
Glory: -'s stronghold. Wait. WHAT? Qibli you are talking to a queen right now.
Qibli: That's the point?
Sunny: Is there anyone who can get these two apart? Stop them from arguing?
Qibli: No.
Glory: Yes. Go find one RIGHT NOW and get them to drag Qibli away.
Qibli: *offended* You cannot talk about SandWings without me.
Glory: Try me.
Qibli: I'll just go on about how amazing Queen Thorn is now.
Glory: *sigh*
Qibli: Queen Thorn took me in when I was a dragonet-
Glory: -You're still a dragonet.
Qibli: When my mother and siblings were terrible. Oh yeah about that, how many of us have terrible family now? *Whispering* I know you're all listening so just speak up.
Qibli has opened this chat to live.
(wait how did he do that ONLY I CAN DO THAT)
Glory: QIBLI
Moon: My mother was always too busy for me but I can understand her.
Tsunami: Yeah and what about your father?
Moon: I don't know him.
Tsunami: Be glad. I-I killed my own dad when I was in Scarlet's arena. And Shark and Moray just downright suck they should go away right now just like Whirlpool.
Winter: My parents and sister hated me.
Qibli: Wait aren't you also descended from Darkstalker if you're in the IceWing royal family?
Winter: Does that even count?
Meanwhile...
Turtle: My brothers were always very competitive. And there were 32 of us.
Tsunami: I still find that hard to comprehend.
Sundew: If we're talking about terrible parents...
Bumblebee has entered the chat
Sundew bans Bumblebee from the chat.
Clay: My mother sold me for a cow.
Glory: Hey, it was at least 2 cows.
Deathbringer: *bursts in dramatically while wearing sun glasses* Is this a party?
Glory: That's my cue. *marches toward Deathbringer* We need to have a little talk you marmoset. Alone.
Qibli: *takes some popcorn* this should be interesting.
Deathbringer: Ohhhh is this a proposal I should be getting ready for? Do I need a suit? *takes off sun glasses and winks*
Glory: I don't care if you dress up into a banana peel but you are coming with me RIGHT. NOW. *proceeds to drag Deathbringer away.*
Peril: What's going on here?
Sunny: Guys stop!
Sunny banned everyone from the chat except Glory, Qibli, and herself
Qibli: Sheesh. Way to ruin the fun.
Sunny: Fun! Give me a break.
Glory: Good work Sunny.
Qibli: What did you do to Deathbringer?
Glory: ...Qibli, keep going. It sounds interesting.
Qibli: YESSSSSSS. Proceeding. So, Queen Thorn basically dragged me away from my awful family and I started working for her and became an Outclaw I guess.
Sunny: The word 'Outclaw' still seems so weird.
Qibli: Well we don't use it anymore since Queen Thorn's amazing daughter who is right here *waves dramatically at Sunny* gave her the Eye of Onyx which she definitely deserves 100% and since it didn't incinerate her to ashes like it did to Blister it must be smart since Queen Thorn is the best queen to ever happen to the Kingdom of Sand.
Glory: Granted, the previous ones were Oasis and Burn so...
Qibli: Nah, Queen Thorn is the greatest queen in history and you are not convincing me otherwise.
Glory: ...
Sunny: You can't say she wasn't the savior the tribe needed Glory.
Qibli: Oh yes! 'Savior'. Gotta remember that next time.
Glory: Next time?
Sunny: Can we talk about the palace now?
Qibli: Fine. *clears throat* SandWings name their palace the SandWing Stronghold. Designed by the powerful but also lame Queen absolutely-no- idea to protect the SandWings. And then Burn came along, adding an extra wall to keep out scavengers and also spikes and more danger. Luckily, Queen Thorn is moving to get rid of all the mayhem Burn has caused.
The Weirdling Tower[]
Sunny: And that's where I come in! The Weirdling Tower was where Princess Burn kept her odd dragon and animal parts. There was a lot in there including:
There was this odd white dragon with no wings - only stubs.
Qibli: Yes I remember that. Could it have been a SilkWing dragonet?
Sunny: That's the complicated part. This dragon only has two wing stubs, not four. It didn't have any antennae either though Burn could have cut it off to display somewhere else. And SilkWings aren't usually white are they?
Glory: I'll make sure to ask Luna later.
Qibli: I believe the only color they can't be is black. That differs them from HiveWings I guess.
Sunny: There was also a dragonbite viper skin.
Glory: Like the one that killed Burn and bit Clay?
Qibli: Weird she would have the skin of her murderer in the halls. But I do remember seeing that one.
Sunny: We think it could have been what gave Blister the idea to use vipers to kill Burn.
Glory: That would make sense.
Sunny: Next we have a fish tank of glowing sea creatures. There were so many weird ones. Smolder kept it, he's good with pets. I think Flower - sorry, Rose is keeping good care of them. There are fish with strange bulging eyes and many flippers, seahorses with teeth can you believe it? Very gloopy snails and something that looks like an octopus but with way too many arms. Qibli, do you think you can show this to Turtle one day and ask him if he recognizes any?
Qibli: Well Turtle isn't the type to read scrolls about freaky sea creatures or go looking for them but I can try.
Sunny: Thanks. Next we have a blood-red MudWing egg with a cracked shell.
Glory: So the dragonet inside would have been a fireproof dragon? Like Clay?
Sunny: Yes. But apparently it never hatched so Burn threw it against the wall- and almost hit Smolder.
Qibli: Sounds like her.
Sunny: And then we have another one. We have more of a lead on this, it's a wing or half of it speckled purple and gray. It washed up at the shores I think and it must be a Pantalan dragon's.
Qibli: Only SilkWings can have those colors.
Sunny: Exactly. It looked like one too. I want to ask Luna over to check it out but I'm afraid how she'll react.
Qibli: I'll take her over one day.
Sunny: Thank you. Alright, now we have a stuffed NightWing.
Glory: A NightWing?
Sunny: Yes. Smolder told me this particular dragon boasted about an animus touched object - a blue sapphire. The dragon refused to give it to Burn so she killed him. It must be where Scarlet found that dreamvisitor. She tore it apart when she was imprisoned there and she must have found it inside the dragon. We think the dragon swallowed it before Burn killed him.
Glory: He must have been pretty determined to keep it hidden.
Qibli: He must be pretty stupid to walk up to the most blood thirsty dragon in Pyrrhia and then start bragging about an animus touched object and not give it to her.
Sunny: That's all that's left. I didn't look at the others but there were plenty more. *shivers* Let's stop talking about that.
Qibli: Agreed.
Glory: You can go now Sunny. And next we have another guest, Prince Smolder of the SandWings.
Smolder and Flower Rose[]
Glory: Hello Prince Smolder.
Smolder: *bows* Queen Glory.
Glory: You don't need to act so respectful. I'm not Burn, I will not kill you for disrespect.
Smolder: That's what Thorn says.
Glory: Now I think I understand why she says that.
Qibli: *whispering* Thorn deserves better than this. *out loud* So... Rose?
Smolder: Yes.
Qibli: ...so... say something?
Smolder: *pulls out a book* This will explain it all.
Qibli: *glances at Glory* Alright. Then... read it out loud?
Smolder: *stares at them*
Glory: *epic eye roll* Ugh. I'll do it. *snatches Smolder's diary* Alright...
What am I doing?
There's a small thing in my room and now it's mine forever and what was I thinking?
Qibli: I dunno. Do you ever think?
Smolder: When I'm allowed to.
Qibli: Smolder, Burn's gone. You don't have to worry about her. *whispering to Glory* I do this all the time, don't worry.
Glory: I'm worrying about his sanity.
I'm in no shape to take care of a new pet.
The whole stronghold is in an uproar, and my life has fallen apart, and yet for some mysterious reason I've decided now is the perfect time to adopt a weird little creature that nobody knows anything about. (Oh, and P.S. maybe it murdered our mom? So it might also be super dangerous?)
Right. Very clever, Smolder. Top-notch brain working there.
Qibli: Doubt that.
Glory: Don't you understand the concept of sarcasm?
Smolder: *clears throat* Maybe I should read it?
Qibli: Better yet, describe it now. Without the book. *tucks it under his wings* Go on.
Smolder: *stares at the book for a little* alright. So...
The palace was in uproar and I just adopted a pet. My brother said I should take notes on it and figure everything out since no one can help me. No one's had a pet in centuries because of mother and Burn. Or even Blister. I named her 'Stabby' at first.
Qibli: And I thought Bandit was a bad name...
Smolder: I wasn't sure I was doing the right thing. I have been thinking of Palm for days and hardly slept. My brother Scald said I needed a good distraction. Then he said that the scavenger basically served itself up on a silver platter and things got... finicky.
Glory: I doubt you actually know what that word means.
Smolder: I was sad to put it simply. Maybe 'extremely depressed and unwilling to do anything' was a better description. But I couldn't exactly go and throw myself in a fire could I? That scavenger was in danger. And if I did that she would have most definitely been eaten. She had trouble walking. Like, one of her legs were broken or sprained I think. That would be why she didn't run away with the others... was it Rock? And Heat? I don't know. It's odd knowing they escaped and kept some of the treasure.
Anyways, kept her in a birdcage and she wasn't all too happy about that.
Qibli: Reminds me of the days Bandit would just sit in his own cage, miserable and how Winter kept poking him. But damn, for a thing so depressed when I opened that door it was off faster than you could blink!
Glory: Wish I was there for that.
Smolder: Burn wanted to kill her. She said that she wouldn't let any murderers get away with murdering royalty apparently and that she wanted the head mounted on a spike.
Qibli: Sounds like her.
Smolder: Then Blister came in pointed out that it would be 'so incredibly intimidating to put the head of the tiny mammal who managed to take down queen on display just to remind everyone how incredibly tiny it was'. Then Singe and Scald argued that I should get one good thing since mother had been treating me particularly unwell lately because of Palm. They finally convinced Burn to let me keep it. And I for one am glad they did.
Qibli: Winter would be too. Actually- so would Kinkajou and Moon and probably Turtle. We are a very scavenger-obsessed winglet. Because of Winter.
Smolder: Then came the question of what Rose ate. It originally thought it was a plant-eater and then I realized she needed water.
Qibli: Water is rare in the desert. Unless you live by an oasis which any sensible dragon does.
Smolder: Not to the prince of the SandWings.
Glory: Yes. You have authority Smolder. You are no longer cowering under Burn's shadow.
Smolder: Then she washed herself, can you believe it? Next, she ate the dates I brought her which felt like an accomplishment worth noting at the time. But now... my research seems pointless now that Rose can tell us everything. But then she was Stabby. Then the librarian told me she was a girl.
Qibli: You didn't know?
Smolder: No.
Qibli: But everyone knows females have longer hair and they're better climbers-
Smolder: That's what the librarian told me. Anyhow, I started calling her a 'she' hoping that dragons would be less tempted to eat a 'she' than an 'it'.
Glory: Alright. Continue.
Smolder: Then I discovered she wasn't an herbivore. She was... an everything-ivore.
Qibli: An omnivore?
Smolder: That's a word?
Qibli: *glances at Glory* Yes.....?
Smolder: *stares at him* alright. When I was reading-
Qibli: You can read.
Smolder: ...yes. I'm a SandWing prince Qibli.
Glory: Yes you are. And you have authority to this world. So stop hiding like a rat and get out there.
Smolder: Ok fine. I wasn't reading. I was thinking about the bleak unfairness of the dark universe and the death of love and hope.
Qibli: So average stuff.
Smolder: Yes. And then Rose took my ink cloth, can you believe it? And she made a nest! All on her own! Then I gave her more soft things while trying to get my ink cloth back but she ended up covering the entire floor in them!
Qibli: Seems like Winter knew a bit more about humans than you did. He had a nest made for him already.
Smolder: Rose's leg was still broken and the healers wouldn't heal it because apparently they weren't vets and only heal dragons. Rude. Tensions were rising and Blister and Blaze both visited me, wondering if I would support them as queen. When I tried to tell them I didn't care they each shot a sinister-
Qibli: -or the most sinister they can manage-
Smolder: -expressions at Rose. So I slept with my tail curled around her cage in case my sisters tried to come in and get her when I'm sleeping. I wouldn't have felt the least bit bad about stabbing them with my tail if they try!
Glory: Yes, that's a good train of thought.
Qibli: It is? Actually... *thinking very hard* Yeah it is.
Smolder: And then I took her flying. Which I think is the day she finally learned to trust me. She even sort of hugged my claw! It was very adorable, you should have been there.
Qibli: I shouldn't tell Winter this part.
Smolder: And then comes the day I discovered a new name for Rose. Flower. We were walking around and the dragons around were being very very rude and kept asking me when I was going to eat Rose like I was ever.
Glory: What did you think their reaction was going to be?
Smolder: She then just suddenly started squeaking and banging my scales and she then pointed at a tapestry - of a rose now that I realize - then at herself then squeaking. She must have meant her name was Rose but I thought she said her name is Flower so I ended up calling her that. I came to conclusion it was a better name than Stabby.
Qibli: You're right about that.
Smolder: And that's it.
Glory: Alright. You can go now Smolder. Now lets pass it on to Fatespeaker and let her explain the details of the desert!
The Layout of the Kingdom of Sand:[]
(Written by Fatespeaker)
The Kingdom of Sand by Mike Schely from AGTTDW
Queen Thorn's Stronghold has a dark past. It used to belong to Queen Oasis who, though rather strict, was nowhere near as cruel as her daughter Burn's reign in there. Apparently she built walls around it to keep out any more naughty humans and studded them with the heads of her enemies. I remember the memorial stone of Queen Oasis and how we dug the Eye of Onyx out (which was actually pretty lame but it TOTALLY SMITED BLISTER so...)
The Scorpion Den, birthplace of rogues, thieves, and assassins. At least, according to Qibli who was brought up there by Thorn. Sunny says although it was messy, crowded, a bit dangerous and full of homeless dragons, it was a good community. Thorn was once the lowly leader of this place. Now practically abandoned.
Jerboa's Hut is just this small building off on the coast of the Kingdom of Sand, right by the sea. Jerboa the 3rd, animus descended right from Jerboa herself is now leading a peaceful life, fishing and hunting, right where she'd lived for all the centuries she'd been alive (which I still find hard to comprehend).
The Sky Kingdom[]
Assisted by Peril and Sky of the SkyWings
Glory: Hello Peril. How are you Sky?
Sky: Why can't I bring Wren?
Glory: ...she's not a SkyWing. And we're talking about SkyWings.
Sky: I didn't grow up with SkyWings.
Qibli: You're just here to balance out the fiery energy of your sister.
Peril: What?
Sky: Sister?
Glory: *looks at Qibli* they haven't met before...?
Qibli: *shrugs*
Glory: Yeah um... you guys come from the same egg. One, Peril, has too much fire. The other, Sky, has to little. So Peril has firescales and Sky has no fire. Make sense?
Sky: So... I have family?
Peril: I wish I could hug you.
Sky: Why can't you?
Peril: Because...
Glory: Firescales burn through everything including scales. It wouldn't be safe to touch her.
Qibli: Sorry to break the family reunion but aren't we supposed to be discussing the SkyWing tribe in all their glory?
Glory: Right. SkyWings have red or orange scales. We believe no fire SkyWings are pale like Sky and firescales are copper, like Peril.
Qibli: A common SkyWing stereotype is: they are very grumpy. Carnelian definitely was.
Glory: So was Kestrel. How about the palace SkyWings?
Peril: Everybody was more grumpy towards me since I was a firescales. But I did see how families split apart not long after they were created in Scarlet's reign. SkyWings just do that I guess. Osprey was okay. And now everyone's a lot less grumpy now that Ruby's the queen.
Glory: As we said before that is a 'stereotype'-
Qibli: -which means it definitely doesn't mean that that is true since every dragon is an individual. I mean, look at Glory!
Glory: Is that a compliment that just came out of you?
Qibli: It's a simple statement.
Glory: Alright. Moving on. There are stereotypes for just about every tribe. SkyWings are grumpy-
Sky: -have they met me?
Qibli: No, now shush.
Glory: -RainWings are lazy, MudWings are dumb, SandWings are sneaky thieving creeps-
Qibli: Rude.
Glory: -and IceWings are... aloof. And perfectionists.
Qibli: That last one is true. Except... nope. Not going to say it.
Glory: There's also, SilkWings are weak, HiveWings are mean, and LeafWings are... um.
Qibli: WOW. LeafWings are 'um'? I'm going to tell Sundew that next time I see her. And I'll credit you, don't worry!
Glory: NO.
Peril: Alright. As much as talking about stereotypes is fun, why don't we just talk about my tribe?
Glory: Right. SkyWings have large wings which enable them to be able to fly very fast and maneuver well in the air. They have powerful bodies in comparison to other average tribes. Their fire is the hottest of all tribes reaching temperatures of... nobody knows because no one is stupid enough to stick their talons in SkyWing fire. And no SkyWing deliberately burns someone and lets that dragon live.
Qibli: You sure about that? *eyes Peril*
Peril: It was an accident! Besides, he was so asking for it.
Qibli: Well you could have flown away.
Peril: UGH why do you have to be so logical all the time? It's annoying.
Qibli: I get that a lot.
Glory: Guys. SkyWings live in the tall mountains and in the only mountain range in Pyrrhia, The Claws of the Clouds Mountains. They are more adapted to cold temperatures than every tribe other than IceWings because they live so high. Their palace is made of solid stone and made out of several towers that aren't connected and require flight to get to. The arena of Queen Scarlet is also destroyed by Queen Ruby. Peril, is that all accurate?
Peril: Yes.
Sky: Are there snails?
Glory: No.
Sky: You should get some. They are adorable. Have you SEEN their little antennae? And their little heads? And their itty bitty absolutely adorable shells? Or-
Glory: No.
Peril: Sometimes one SkyWing would find a snail and roast it to eat...
Sky: WHAAAAAT. BUT SNAILS ARE CUTE
I'm gonna leave out the actual sad parts for someone else to figure out -Nightshade28173
Qibli: Oh no.
Glory: I would do the same about sloths. Probably.
Qibli: Wait really?
Glory: Don't even try.
Qibli: I'm considering it. Really considering it.
Glory: No Qibli.
*Silent stand-off for ten minutes while Sky and Peril bicker in the background about snails*
Glory: At that note we'll move on to a grim subject: my first survived venom victim, Ex-Queen Scarlet who absolutely hated me.
Qibli: Uh huh. And we will invite in Queen Ruby and Prince Vermillion of the SkyWings to talk about their father.
Glory: Who's name is lost to history. However, his sister, Tailwind, kept a diary all about him.
Qibli: Come in SkyWing royalties!
Why you don't marry murderers[]
Editor's note: In the real book it used a word that was banned from using on this wiki so now it says 'murderer'
Glory: *bows* Queen Ruby.
Ruby: *bows* Queen Glory.
Qibli: Traditional bows aside, let's discuss our topic.
Vermillion: Our father's name was *clears throat* King Canyon.
Qibli: Pathetic name, check. Go on.
Ruby: We don't remember much about him but we'll be using this book *retrieves the OG a Guide to the Dragon World and flips to the right page* to figure it out.
King Canyon's own sister, Tailwind, also our aunt, wrote this and it was recorded in this book. This shows a detailed depiction of Queen Scarlet and King Canyon growing up, marrying, and of course, their life together before their untimely demise.
Glory: Scarlet deserved it though. Whoops, forgot we're all about peace now. Ignore that.
Qibli: My mother is an assassin. She has a never ending list of victims. Most are dead. That was nothing.
Glory: I am a little disturbed but I live with an assassin so...
Ruby: Wow.
Vermillion: *clearly trying hard not to stare*
Qibli: Are we talking about Queen Scarlet or what?
Ruby: Yes we are. Ok... lets see...
We see how mother grew up just as vain and bloodthirsty as she was when she died. Queen Firestorm, our grandmother, was also rather vain and cruel apparently. When I get back I'm going to have a good chat with Tailwind. And... this talks about how Tailwing had to avoid her apparently? Well also Queen Firestorm loved Scarlet. And some dragon else did too. Canyon, Tailwind's brother.
Qibli: As much as I love this sappy stuff can we get to the point?
Glory: Patience child.
Qibli: Excuse me? You aren't far from a child yourself.
Glory: *clearly fuming*
Vermillion: QUIET.
Ruby: Thank you Vermillion. Your 'arena voice' is handy sometimes.
Vermillion: Your welcome your majesty.
Glory: I remember that. Very loud.
Vermillion: I'm going to take that as a compliment.
Qibli: Okay, keep going.
Ruby: Right. Tailwind thought Canyon was extremely stupid and could see how badly marrying a 'crazy murderer' would end. For one, she's right. And then all about how Canyon flirted with Scarlet for years-
Glory: Ugh.
Ruby: -before finally getting noticed. They did a wedding and at that time, Scarlet challenged Queen Firestorm and won of course. King Canyon stayed on the throne for 12 years before being 'thrillingly' executed at the arena. Yep, I will have to talk to Tailwind when I get back. And here- oh god.
Qibli: What? *grabs the book* Ohhhhhhhhh. Speculating on who your husband is? How fun.
Glory: WHAT? Qibli, show me that. *incoherent mumbling* Wow.
Ruby: Give me that! *takes the book back* c'mon Vermillion, let's go.
Vermillion: Wait-
Ruby: *grabs Vermillion and flies away*
Glory: Alright.
Qibli: Drama.
Glory: Well that went well. Moving on, we will talk about the Clash of Claws Tournament!
Clash of Claws Tournament[]
Glory: Welcome! We don't have any SkyWings to talk about this with so me and Qibli will be assessing it on our own.
Qibli: So much power.
Glory: Let's see... this is a contest of strength, endurance, and cleverness that is meant to 'get dragons to prove themselves in front of their queen, tribe, and kingdom. The reward for victory is glory(not me), fame, and a seat at the queen's table of advisors. There are 7 challenges.
First they test Flame. The SkyWing's fire is tested from precision to intensity and heat, all the different aspects. Endurance is where there is a race from the palace to the tallest mountain in the Sky Kingdom, testing speed and stamina while the competitors battle rough winds and the cold.
Qibli: And this is why only SkyWings would do something so stupid.
Glory: Next, strength. Each dragon would take a huge boulder brought up from the Diamond Spray River and fly as high as possible then throw the boulder as far as they can. And then, cunning. Each SkyWing would have to survive an elaborate maze full of traps and acquire the treasures.
Qibli: That I would dominate.
Glory: I hate to say it but you're probably right. Alright, and then guile. They must all find a human, here it says 'the cleverest of prey' but now they really aren't prey anymore, and bring it back to the palace safe and unharmed.
Qibli: Winter would dominate that one.
Glory: I wonder if they are still doing that one since humans aren't prey. Maybe they have human volunteers running around?
Qibli: That wouldn't make any sense. Even SkyWings aren't as dumb as that.
Glory: True. Wow. I love how we can just insult the tribe without any interferences whatsoever.
Qibli: It's great.
Glory: Wit is where the competitor must answer a series of riddles correctly.
Qibli: I would also dominate that one.
Glory: And finally, a race to see who is the fastest dragon in the fastest tribe. Although hypothetically only the fastest in the open sky. In the rainforest with all those branches they would be tangled in seconds. And I doubt any of them can swim faster than SeaWings.
Qibli: Have you ever wondered which tribe runs the fastest? Like, on land?
Glory: SilkWings were born without wings right? Does that mean that they learn to run fast just in case?
Qibli: Somehow, I doubt it.
The SkyWing Anthem[]
We are proud to announce that our tribe has the first ever anthem song in history! And written by my very own son! Isn't he talented? Here's a bit for all you(editor's note: cringe warning):
All hail the wonderful SkyWings! They shine like rubies and gold!
All hail the glorious SkyWings! They're brave and fearless and bold!
Look, up in the sky! It's a SkyWing! Sheep bet-ter run for the hills!
Run fast-er, you sheep! Run a-way, all you prey! Or to-day is the day you get killed!
Just a little excerpt!
-Queen Ruby of the SkyWings
Layout of the Sky Kingdom:[]
(Written by Fatespeaker)
The Sky Kingdom by Mike Schely from AGTTDW
Queen Ruby's Palace is this huge stone palace sitting on the mountain. I have no idea how it stays there and how they built it but it is pretty impressive. Ex-Queen Scarlet's arena used to be a pretty important part where the Dragonets of Destiny used to be imprisoned. It was an arena complete with a seating area and a ring of prisoners on top, chained together.
A bit more about the Gladiator Arena it is a bowl shaped arena where prisoners used to fight almost everyday for Queen Scarlet's entertainment. It sounds perfectly horrible since the loser had to die. Apparently some dragons committed suicide? Which sounds absolutely disgusting and terrible. It is now being turned into a hospital so that's a relief.
Surprise Chapter - Sky and Peril bonding[]
(Cleril was requested in the comments so here we go)
Qibli: *shoves Sky towards Peril* NOW BOND
Sky: Oh hi! Who are you again?
Peril: ....are you sure you're my brother?
Sky: Oh I'm your brother. Alright! Hey, do you like snails?
Peril: Wha-
Sky: OH DON'T YOU LOVE SNAILS? THE CUTE LITTLE HEADS AND THE SOFT LITTLE BODIES AND THE PRETTY SHELLS AND THE WAY THEY INCH AROUND IS JUST SO ADORABLE!!!!!!!!
Peril: Excuse me?
Sky: Oh oh and what about sea turtles? Don't you LOVEEEEEEEEEEE sea turtles?
Qibli: I SAID BOND
Glory: Shut up they're bonding over cute critters.
Peril: We're what? What's a sea turtle? What- how- huh? Wait... is that why Turtle is named Turtle? Because there are turtles of the sea?
Sky: YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT A SEA TURTLE IS? *cutely holds up one that he got from who knows where* Here is one!
Peril: AHHH GET THAT AWAY FROM ME
Glory: What Peril means is: that's adorable!
Qibli: I SAID BOND
Peril: Hey uh long time no see brother.
Sky: Hm? Oh yeah. Where's mom? And dad?
Peril: Uh mom's dead. And dad... we don't talk about dad.
Sky: Why?
Peril: You're not gonna- *shoots Glory and Qibli a look like: help me* ok. Well as I said, we don't talk about dad.
Sky: Huh ok. Then who do you live with?
Peril: Uh well I may have a boyfriend-
Glory & Sky: WHO?
Glory: IS IT CLAY?
Sky: DOES HE LIKE SNAILS?
Qibli: You didn't notice? It was so obvious! Like she gets so red when she sees Clay! Like, even redder than usual.
Peril: Ah shut up!
Glory: Peril-
Qibli: Don't ruin it, they're cute together. They're such a wholesome item!
Peril: Wha- no- WE'RE NOT AN ITEM WDYM
Qibli: Oh it's pretty obvious you are an item.
Glory: Why are we even here it's their turn.
Qibli: Oh yeah right bye world.
Glory: Good luck Peril.
Peril: Oh well, as I was saying I live with Clay who is kinda hot but WE'RE NOT AN ITEM
Clay: What?
Peril: Oh uh uh hi Clay.
Clay: Are you having fun.
Peril: Oh um yes I mean uh no I MEAN YES.
Clay: Peril, are you okay, you're getting hot. Like, hotter than usual.
Peril: *mind* Did he just call me hot
Glory: Oh my gods how is he so oblivious.
Clay: Huh?
Glory: NOTHING.
Sky: Orp. Are you sister's love?
Peril: NO HE'S NOT
Clay: What do you mean? We're just friends.
Qibli: *whispering* C'mon, just admit it!
Peril: ANYWAYS Sky who do you live with?
Qibli: ARGH WHY DID SHE HAVE TO CHANGE THE TOPIC ARGH
Sky: Oh I have a lot of pets! A human, a snail, a turtle, and a bunch of others!
Wren: *in the distance* I'M NOT A PET
Ending it there! I imagine Qibli's reaction is just the reaction of everyone reading this especially the Cleril shippers. This ship was suggested by Flurry^the^IceWing^Librarian ty to her!
Kingdom of the Sea[]
(assisted by Turtle of the SeaWings)
Qibli: Hello Turtle.
Turtle: Hello Qibli.
Glory: Alright, let's get to the point. The Kingdom of the Sea is in the Bay of a Thousand Scales which is a bay off the east coast of Pyrrhia that holds a swirling pattern of islands. On one of those islands is the ruins of the Summer Palace. Also, were you there for the destruction of the Summer Palace Turtle? I know Pike was.
Turtle: I was in the Deep Palace.
Glory: Yes. And studies, which include using Tsunami as a security camera, reveal that the Deep Palace is at the very end of the swirling pattern that looks suspiciously like my tail.
Turtle: Oh wait I never noticed that.
Qibli: Me neither.
Glory: Yeah so that's a mystery. However the Deep Palace is at the very edge of the last island. Like the tip of my tail.
Turtle: Way to ruin the secretism.
Glory: Even if every tribe knew about it no tribe could actually get there. It's really deep underwater according to Tsunami. No other tribe could get there and definitely not attack it. You are safe in the water.
Qibli: That is sadly true.
Turtle: Well that's a relief.
Glory: SeaWings have green or blue or aquamarine scales. Right? Turtle is green an Tsunami is blue. And Anemone is a bit of pink. Is that normal?
Turtle: Similar to LeafWings, SeaWings can have a few different colors on their scales other than the normal green and blue. I don't but as you already know, Anemone is slightly pink. And similarly some LeafWings can have highlights of red and gold.
Glory: When did you learn so much about LeafWings?
Turtle: When me and Tsunami were stuck in the SapWing village.
Glory: Got it. Next, I read that SeaWings can be gray as well.
Qibli: They can?
Turtle: Well, I mean, look at Shark.
Glory: Yeah. So it says SeaWings can be blue, green or shades of gray though it doesn't mention pink or anything.
Qibli: Guides don't tend to go into so much detail ya know?
Turtle: Yeah.
Glory: True enough. Next, SeaWings used to have an Island Palace. That was closed after the infamous Prince Albatross murdered most of the royal family there.
Turtle: Yes.
Qibli: That was in Darkstalker's time.
Turtle: Yes.
Glory: And I gather your tribe is debating on either rebuilding the Summer Palace, rebuilding the Island Palace, or making a whole new one out of scratch where every tribe can hang out and have fun unlike the Deep Palace which can be accessed only by SeaWings.
Turtle: Yeah. Anemone is asking mother for a possible place like Possibility and Sanctuary at the edge of the ocean. For SeaWings, MudWings, and RainWings.
Glory: Wouldn't that be nice?
Qibli: Yeah. Oh right, Turtle, I was meaning to ask you something.
Weird Sea Creatures[]
Assisted by Turtle and Anemone of the SeaWings
Qibli: Take a look at this. *unveils the fish tank* Can you identify any of them?
Turtle: What. Is. That.
Anemone: Where did you get that?
Glory: Prince Smolder kept it. It's from Queen Burn-
Anemone: Just Burn.
Glory: From Burn's weirdling collection.
Turtle: Burn had a what?
Anemone: I don't think I want to know what that means.
Glory: Just take a look. This one has way more than 8 arms yet it looks like an octopus.
Anemone: Well...
Turtle: Pretty sure not all octopuses need 8 arms?
Qibli: 'Octo' literally means 8. If it had more than eight arms it would be something else.
Turtle: Oh. Whoops.
Qibli: Why am I explaining this to a SeaWing.
Glory: I have no idea. *being refusing to admit Qibli is smart*
Anemone: *watching the chaos unfold*
Qibli: So? Is this like a... Decapus?
Anemone: Wouldn't that just be a squid?
Qibli: ....................................................................*long dramatic pause*............................................. ...................................no?
Glory: How smooth.
Qibli: Hear me out: Squids have eight tentacles and two longer ones with hooks.
Anemone: Giant squids maybe.
Qibli: Yes exactly!
Anemone: Some squids have just ten regular legs. Or more than that.
Qibli: Yeah, so they wouldn't necessarily be called squids!
Anemone: Give me the difference between a squid and an octopus if you're so smart!
Qibli: Well- why am I even explaining sea creatures to a SeaWing?
Anemone: You are not you hot-head! I'm correcting your questionable knowledge on sea creatures because I live with them so I know more about them! Aren't SandWings afraid of water?
Qibli: Are you reprimanding my tribe? Try getting SandWing venom on those precious scales of yours!
Anemone: Oh boo hoo I'm so scared THERE IS A CURE FOR THAT. Sand snorter.
Qibli: Only in the desert so we can just keep a close eye on the brightsting cacti! It's not for prying talons! Especially not for the dragon who tried to make a broom whack Moon for eternity!
Turtle: Oh, so that's what it's about.
Glory: Anemone did what?
Anemone: Well I wish I hadn't stopped! I wish Darkstalker could come back from the dead so I can punish him!
Qibli: He isn't-
Anemone: Yes? He isn't what?
Qibli: No. Nevermind.
Anemone: I don't like your attitude! I helped defeat Darkstalker! I ended a battle! Hello, it was me who transported all the IceWings and NightWings to their kingdoms and saved a bunch of dragons lives! Why shouldn't I get to know how Darkstalker was defeated?
Qibli: Winter doesn't get to know!
Anemone: He didn't do anything!
Qibli: He's worth 100 of you!
Anemone: -100 maybe!
Qibli: Nevermind, he's worth 1000 of you!
Glory: Why are you guys even arguing about Darkstalker?
Anemone: *turning on Glory* Being a queen hasn't made you any less deaf has it? Is it the constant clamor of RainWings? Oh wait, your tribe never gets out of their comfy little hammocks! In the Kingdom of the Sea, we actually work!
Glory: I see the family resemblance.
Anemone: Don't you dare compare me to my cousin and uncle!
Glory: No, not that. You remind me of a mix of both Albatross and Tsunami's worst characteristics mixed together.
Anemone:
Qibli: Good one.
A Small Guide to Aquatic[]
Assisted by Riptide of the SeaWings
Qibli: Now that was what I call a heated argument.
Riptide: Do I want the details?
Glory: No. Now tell me, are you and Tsunami... a thing?
Qibli: Whaaat. Why.
Riptide: W-what? I-I dunno what you're talking about!
Glory: *leaning closer* yes you do. Now spill the fruit.
Qibli: The expression is 'spill the tea'.
Riptide: There's an expression like that?
Glory: *eye roll* SeaWings.
Qibli: Go on. Talk about aquatic.
Riptide: O-kay. Well...
Aquatic is a SeaWing language that involves the flashing of scales *lights up every scale on his body in a ripple pattern* in particular ways to communicate underwater where we obviously can't speak. The different parts of our bodies are used to communicate different things.
Glory: Alright. Now get to the point.
Riptide: For example, the scales on our snout are 'question scales' which we use to ask basic questions such as:
Who? *lights up one snout scale for one brief moment* Which is a short flash.
What? *lights up one snout scale twice* Which are two flashes.
Where? *lights up three different snout scales* Which are three flashes of different scales.
How? *lights up one snout scale for a longer period of time* Which is a long flash.
When? *lights up one snout scale for a moment then lighting it up for a longer period of time* Which is a short flash followed immediately by a long flash. Careful, some SeaWings speed this one up in times of danger and it looks like they're asking how? which is often confusing.
Qibli: Alright. Thankfully, Turtle doesn't use aquatic all that much anymore.
Glory: Of course he doesn't. He's above land. Tsunami always talks above land whenever she can and usually as loud as she can.
Riptide: I have yet to teach her all I know.
Glory: Does that mean you two are romantically involved?
Qibli: WHY.
Riptide: NO.
Glory: C'mon, you can tell me that truth.
Qibli: *face palms* OH MY GODS. Look, I don't think you want to be asking about things like this! First you bug Umber about Clay and now you're asking about relationships? There's a thin line between curious and annoying!
Glory: There's a thin line between brave and reckless. And Tsunami has crossed it one too many times.
Qibli: True.
Glory: So she needs someone to anchor her down! And I'm just making sure it's the right dragon.
Qibli: UGH. Why is it your business? Next you're gonna be asking Sunny and Fatespeaker if they like Starflight or not!
Glory: Yeah I am.
Qibli: *TRIGGERED*
Riptide: Uh.
Glory: So-
Qibli: NO. Riptide, continue.
Riptide: ...alright. Next we have the 'insults'.
Qibli: Oooooo yes. Continue.
Riptide: It's a favorite of dragonets, as expected. We usually use this tail stripe *lights up tail stripe* as an insult scale. There are plenty including:
Squid-brain *lights up scale three times* which is three flashes.
Sea urchin up his snout *lights up scale once for a long time* which is one long flash.
Shark bait *lights up scales twice and flicks his talons* which is two flashes and a flick of the talons.
Glory: Interesting. So you not only use scales but also physical moves?
Riptide: Yes.
Creeping tentacle *lights up scales once quickly and wriggles talons* which is a quick flash with a talon wriggle.
Stuck-up barnacle *lights up scales twice with talons together and pointed upward* which is two flashes with talons tapped together and pointed upward.
Qibli: These things just get more and more creative.
Riptide: The minds of dragonets are amazing. Amazingly toxic.
Qibli: UM.
Riptide: *totally ignores him* Now where was I?
Moon eel *lights up scales twice and draws a circle with talon* which is two flashes and draw a circle with a talon.
*I'll come back to this later, I promise!*
Guess what I found?[]
Assisted by Tsunami of the SeaWings
Qibli: Take a look at this. *unrolls a scroll*
Glory: What in the world...
Qibli: I know. Oh and-
Glory: Qibli, did you sneak into Starflight's room?
Qibli: Uh- in my defense, it was Kinkajou who snuck into Starflight's room, not me.
Glory: Yes and you came up with the plan.
Qibli: Hey, who can blame me for being the smartest dragon in the Jade Winglet?
Glory: The entire Winglet was involved?
Qibli: I'm not in the winglet anymore, remember? Also, Winter decided not to show up. It was just me, Kinkajou, Turtle, Moon, and Peril.
Glory: Why am I not surprised...
Qibli: Anyhow, take a look at this!
Glory: I never knew.
Qibli: I doubt Tamarin would have told you. Kinkajou is being all stompy and mad about this in her own way since all she really does is get louder and turn bright red. Really bright red. Like eye-searing level. Worse than the sun.
Glory: You're a SandWing.
Qibli: So I don't think the sun is bright? There's something called stereotypes.
Glory: That isn't the SandWing stereotype.
Qibli: Right. That would be: 'sneaking lying thieves'.
Glory: The RainWing one is worse.
Qibli: Sure.
Glory: But this... why? And you're telling me this was a school project? And Starflight read it? And never told Tsunami?
Tsunami: Never told me what?
Qibli: Well... it says...
Dear Tamarin, I hope I'm doing these bumpy letters right. Blah blah, blind dragon readable scrolls. Oh. First mushy part. I want to write you some notes that are JUST FOR YOU and not to be read by ANY OTHER NOSY RAINWINGS WHO CLAIM TO BE HELPING BUT ARE ACTUALLY SNOOPING ON MY CORRESPONDENCE, not to name any names. Kinkajou.
Tsunami: Actually- nope. Forget I asked. I DON'T WANT TO KNOW.
Qibli: Too bad.
But this one is for practice, for Starflight's guide thingy so I'll save all the 'other' stuff in my next letter since *takes a deep breath and starts to mimic Anemone's voice badly* "Tamarin, you said the smartest thing in history yesterday, and it made me think for the whole rest of the day, and sometimes when I'm falling asleep I imagine going flying with you, and can we please have another gardening date because planting marigolds with you was the most peaceful I've ever felt in my life" *stops mimicking Anemone's voice* is probably not what Starflight is looking for.
Glory: Oh. my. gods. Are. you. kidding me?
Tsunami: Moons... I thought it couldn't get any worse.
Glory: I think this is the one time we managed to agree on anything.
Tsunami: We can all agree Clay likes food too much.
Glory: Yes and Starflight is an absolute bookworm.
Tsunami: And-
Qibli: As much as this scene is heartwarming, we have to keep going.
Did he give you a weird assignment too? Write an essay about your tribe's strengths and weaknesses? Um, hello! SeaWings HAVE no weaknesses! What a ridiculous question! We're the best tribe! Who's written the most scrolls? Who has the coolest palaces? Who has their own language? That's right, SeaWings. Not to mention how we can breathe underwater! And we can see in the dark, and our scales light up and we're the best swimmers OBVIOUSLY.
I mean, SeaWings are pretty weak on land. Their skills aren't useful.
Tsunami: I'll have you know that I'm the best fighter in the Dragonets. Argh, what do we call ourselves now?
Glory: I don't know.
Qibli: Yes sure but you're good because your battle skills are good, not because of your special SeaWing abilities. And untrained SeaWing couldn't do anything above land. Case in point, Turtle.
Tsunami: True enough. But I'm still the best fighter.
Qibli: I wasn't saying you weren't.
Tsunami: Uh huh.
Qibli: Anyways...
I think probably the only thing that isn't super awesomest - awesome word - about being a SeaWing is that I can't ever bring you home to show you the deep palace. That is, we're kind of off on our own, way down under the ocean. I never met anyone who wasn't a SeaWing except Blister - which sucks - until blah blah the dragonets of destiny came. Some dragons talk about Sanctuary and Possibility and WHATEVER and sometimes that makes me just the tiniest bit jealous. Like... it would be nice to have a place like that on the coast of the MudWing kingdom somewhere where SeaWings, MudWings, and RainWings could all hang out together. And stuff about gardens and swimming with dolphins. You'll love dolphins Tamarin.
Glory: If she could just speak up and tell me, Moorhen, and Coral she could have that.
Tsunami: Excuse me?
Glory: Hush. I'm a queen now.
Qibli: Guys!
Blah blah blah mother is building a palace and SeaWings are freaked out about what happened at the Summer Palace so they might not be reopening that and blah blah Island Palace maybe but not the least traumatic location in tribe's history. What happened there?
Glory: Albatross massacred half the SeaWing royal family in the time of Darkstalker.
Qibli: Oh. And then they just abandoned it?
Tsunami: Don't look at me! How should I know why we abandoned an island?
Glory: ...
Qibli: Right. Moving on.
I'd like to have a palace for above water friends so I can be with a RainWing friend! Best one right there. Or hypothetically any other friend. I'm not sure I should be the next SeaWing queen. Maybe it should be Auklet since she hasn't made any terrible decisions yet or say, tried to pull an Albatross. Blah blah she's too small so she might make worse decisions but that would be really hard. You SeaWings really need a solid heir. First Tsunami then Anemone? Let's hope Auklet is fit for the job.
Tsunami: Are you insulting me?
Qibli: No why would you think that?
Glory: Yeah he is.
Qibli Shhh! Anyways.
Blah blah hope mother will be queen for long blah blah want to be a normal dragonet with a normal life. Oooo yes here. And maybe that life could include some seeds, dirt and violets? I'm free tomorrow after lunch if you are! LOVE Anemone. *rolls up the scroll* Any comments?
Tsunami: Ok. So. How come I never knew about this?
Glory: Ew. Just... ew.
Qibli: Your relationship is no better Glory.
Glory: I DON'T HAVE ANY RELATIONSHIP QIBLI STOP IT.
Qibli: Stop lying! Your friends have pretty solid relationships! Take an example from Tsunami!
Tsunami: Wait what? Who me? Romantic relationship? Nuh uh I think you're looking at the wrong person!
Glory: What about you and Moon?
Qibli: Well I am proud to admit I like Moon unlike you all.
Tsunami: Urgh. Can we stop talking about this?
Glory: Gladly.
Qibli: FINE. But this is a good subject I'll bring it up in the future.
Tsunami and Glory: NO!
Glory: On that note let's pass this to Fatespeaker and let her descripe the layout of the ocean!
Layout of the Kingdom of the Sea:[]
The Kingdom of the Sea by Mike Schely in AGTTDW
(Written by Fatespeaker)
The Bay of a Thousand Scales is a really pretty swirl of islands. Looks like the tail of our continent, Pyrrhia! Would that make Pyrrhia a RainWing portrait then? There are like, over 1000 islands in the Bay of a Thousand Scales (which is crazy)! Well, I guess that name says that. I wonder how the SeaWings don't constantly get lost.
The Summer Palace was this awesome palace made by the infamous Prince Albatross using animus magic like it literally grew out of stone! Apparently this made Albatross go mad? Anyway, it's apparently this spiral tower made of white stone and has like a gazillion levels. I've never been there but the dragonets have! It's in like the center of an island and the walls around it are all caves. It was firebombed by SkyWings which is sad.
The Deep Palace is the underwater SeaWing palace where SeaWings go. Apparently the location is a secret? But then explain how it is CLEARLY marked on that map.
The Island Palace is a long abandoned place last used in the times of Darkstalker so it's seriously old. It used to be just to host parties for other tribe guests and then Albatross went crazy and killed like, half the royal family which is really scary and I don't know how I would feel if I knew I could just go crazy and kill everyone randomly some day.
The Rainforest Kingdom[]
Assisted by Jambu of the RainWings
Glory: I AM THE QUEEN OF THE RAINWINGS WHY IS MY BROTHER HERE.
Jambu: Because you love me!
Glory: NO I DO NOT.
Qibli: I complained about the SandWings. Now you can deal with it just as I had to do.
Glory: There is an obvious difference! I'm a queen. YOU are a puny citizen.
Qibli: I AM THE DRAGONET ADVISOR OF QUEEN THORN DON'T YOU DARE INSULT ME LIKE THAT.
Glory: And I'm the queen. Also, I'm older than you.
Qibli: And I'm better than you.
Glory: Become the first king and we'll see.
Jambu: Can I take a nap?
Glory: NO. Alright here we go.
Since this section should be about RainWings we will talk about the rainforest and the RainWing village with no mention of the questionable other tribe living there.
Qibli: Are you insulting Moon?
Glory: No not Moon. The other ones. Including the one sitting next to me trying to be a bodyguard to me when I've clearly saved his sorry butt more times than he has done the same for me.
Qibli: Sure.
Glory: *ignores him* So anyways.
The RainWing village is just a bunch of treehouses connected with bridges that string through the trees. All highly flammable which is a problem I don't have time for yet.
Qibli: So Peril is banned?
Glory: ...yes.
Qibli: Ah that's sad. Now I can't bring her with the rest of the Jade Winglet to a Rainforest tour.
Glory: Say what now? Anyways.
The Rainforest is also covered with lots and lots of flowers, animals, and fruit. Which is the main source of food around since as you all should know, RainWings are vegetarian. Sloths are strictly off limits though, even for NightWings, so Exquisite doesn't declare war.
Qibli: I remember her. Winter tried to eat one of her sloths the first time we went into the rainforest.
Jambu: Yeah Exquisite is really... protective when it comes to her sloths. She used to be the queen you see. I went against her in the treetop race.
Glory: Yes and she cheated and won.
Jambu: As you can imagine she isn't very happy. Pineapple always makes me happy though.
Qibli: And I suppose sloths are Exquisite's Pineapples?
Glory: That sounded so wrong in so many ways...
RainWings also have suntime so they have platforms covered with blossoms at the highest points, exposed to the sun. There are also cool hammock things that strap you on to them so you don't fall. It's pretty high tech for RainWings if I do say so myself.
Qibli: Uh huh.
Jambu: See! We're smart!
Glory: Yeah. Our best invention has to be the blowguns though. They can knock dragons out flat. And we have quite the skill set: camouflage that makes us practically invisible, and venom that kills as long as it touches the eye or exposed flesh.
Jambu: And our scales also change color according to our emotions!
RainWing Scales[]
Jambu: Our scales are a super important part of RainWing culture! It's really helpful with knowing what which dragon is feeling. I don't know how other tribes do without them.
Qibli: Us SandWings aren't nearly as open.
Glory: Stereotypes.
Jambu: Well RainWings are more expressive. I really love this subject.
Glory: I remember you had QUITE the information about this subject as well. For that reason, and as not to bore us, you will be sharing a list of SOME colors and emotions. Which is still a lot!
Qibli: Can you guys turn eburnean?
Glory: What?
Qibli: Never mind.
Jambu: Oh eburnean is just this sandy color...
Glory: Wait how should you know? I thought RainWings didn't have scrolls.
Jambu: We know everything about colors. Speaking of colors, should I talk about my favorites or least favorites first?
Qibli: Least favorites.
Jambu: Favorites it is!
One of my definite favorites is pink!
Glory: I totally never knew that.
Jambu: There are plenty things you don't know about me sis!
Pink is like, joyfully happy, like me! Or in love which is also like me!
Glory: Yes? Who?
Jambu: Pineapple.
Qibli: He sleeps a lot.
Glory: Suntime is tribe tradition! Are you insulting the RainWings?
Qibli: *shrug* maybe.
Jambu: And here's some of my other super favorite colors! Especially to turn into!
Gold scales are happy or excited! We see this a lot when us RainWings are doing a pleasure thing. Or watching a spectacular performance like you coronation sis! And then yellow scales, they're really similar, are amused or surprised!
Qibli: Is that why Kinkajou is always gold and pink?
Glory: Probably.
Jambu: Like my dear friend Pineapple, lavender scales mean that the dragon is delighted. We always turn this color to great each other.
Qibli: Very heartwarming.
Glory: I can't tell if you were saying that sarcastically or not.
Jambu: Blue scales mean that a dragon is curious, calm, and tranquil. But if they're cyan they're concentrating and light blue means their sad which always makes me sad.
Glory: Really?
Qibli: How can you tell the difference between the colors?
Jambu: Oh easy! You just flash your scales all three colors and see the comparison!
Qibli: ...but SandWings can't do that?
Jambu: You could visit the ocean! Or the Ice Kingdom! Or not, it's really cold up there like, really really cold.
Qibli: And SandWings don't generally like the cold.
Glory: Shush Qibli, we already talked about the SandWIngs
Jambu: Alright now my least favorite feeling-colors.
Red scales are sadly not uncommon in the rainforest. It means the dragon is angry.
Qibli: RainWings can get angry?
Glory: QIBLI.
Qibli: What?
Jambu: One word: Bromeliad.
Orange scales mean a dragon is frustrated. Which we see a bit more especially when you're waiting for a turn with the queen.
Qibli: *pokes Glory's wings* So that's why your wings are always orange!
Glory: *ruff turns orange* only when I'm talking to you or Tsunami.
Jambu: But you love me sis, right?
Green scales are a whole other level of bad since every shade of green is something I don't like to see on a dragon. Which is really sad.
Dark green means the dragon is distressed or bothered.
Acid green means shock or disbelief.
Pale green means they're scared and even though I don't like that one, it's a very useful alarm so we know when to camouflage and run. Even though I've never had to in my life. Until I met you sis!
Glory: Was that an insult or a compliment?
Qibli: I believe it was a statement.
Jambu: This list is longer than the good colors one and I don't really like that. Since, it means there are more bad colors and that isn't good.
Purple scales means a few things as well with the darker shade being guilt and the lighter shade being pride. Which I guess is sometimes a good thing?
Orangey-purple scales are-
Qibli: Hold up, what's orangey-purple?
Glory: *turns orangey purple* yeah what is it?
Jambu: Look at yourself sis.
It means the dragon is confused.
White scales mean a dragon is in pain or sick.
Qibli & Glory: Like Kinkajou.
Glory: When she was hit by Grandeur's venom.
Qibli: When she was thrown against a tree by Chameleon.
Jambu: Yeah. We don't see much of it in the rainforest. After all, nobody really gets hurt anyway.
Brown scales means one is stressed out. We don't see a lot of that either unless a dragon is pretending to be a MudWing. It's a good practice for camouflaging in the many mud pits we have in the rainforest.
Glory: And quicksand which I have to remind dragonets endlessly about.
Jambu: They still get stuck though.
Dark gray means a dragon feels sorrowful.
A blue-gray dragon is either pretending to be a SeaWing or feels depressed.
Black scales and really really bad and means the dragon is deeply upset, like even more than depressed, possibly furious or even hating something. So we don't see a lot of that either!
Glory: Yes I hear the phrase: 'Hate is a strong word' so many times my head is going to explode.
Jambu: It's true though.
Royal Challenges[]
Assisted by Handsome of the RainWings
Handsome: Queen Glory.
Glory: Gah! Why are you all like this?
Qibli: *snort*
Handsome: Apologies your majesty.
Glory: Argh just get on with the section.
Handsome: If you wish.
RainWings, a long time ago, were just as violent as any other tribe, with fights and threats coming from not only the outside but the inside as well.
Qibli: Wow really?
Glory: Stereotypes.
Handsome: It says that we once went through eight queens in one moon cycle.
Qibli: Yikes. Glad Queen Thorn lasted.
Glory: I'm just glad I lasted.
Handsome: So the ninth queen decided that we couldn't have our strongest dragons murder each other as outsiders still posed a threat. So she introduced royal challenges, a peaceful transfer of power that does not end in death.
Glory: Yes.
Handsome: And each queen had the right to choose their contest or invent one themselves.
Glory: Magnificent did a bit more than that.
Handsome: We have seen many royal challenges and here are some from our tribe's history.
Qibli: Wait, let me get this straight. So... anyone could be queen? Just, walk up, challenge, and your done? Any random RainWing in the tribe?
Glory: Oh yes to quote my brother Jambu, 'We RainWings don't DO family' so there is no royal family.
Qibli: So how does that work?
Glory: Well you're about to find out. Handsome, go on.
Handsome: Yes your majesty.
First, we have the Fruit-Gathering Trial. Where dragons are tasked to collect as much different varieties of fruit as possible in a time period, usually an hour.
Glory: Didn't Mangrove compete in that one? Against Dazzling?
Handsome: Yes. That's the one.
Glory: So the one where she cheated. Actually, the queens cheated on many of them.
Qibli: Huh?
Glory: Oh just my competition to be queen.
Qibli: Oh sure.
Handsome: Magnificent certainly talked like she cheated. But we don't know for sure. And besides, Mangrove still won.
Next we have the Treetop Race.
Glory: Where dragons have to fly three times around the whats-it-called and touch down on the platform? I remember cheering Jambu on for that one.
Qibli: Seriously? Can't imagine you cheering anybody on.
Glory: Qibli.
Qibli: What did I do this time?
Glory: I- ARGH. Never mind. Handsome, continue.
Handsome: Then we have the Storytelling event.
Glory: Oh that's new. Go on.
Handsome: Where the dragons each tell a story and whoever can tell the longest story with the least dragons falling asleep wins.
Qibli: Moons. And they're telling it to RainWings?
Glory: Got a problem with that?
Qibli: Uh... of course not your majesty. *winks*
Glory: No! I command you to stop using that name!
Qibli: Whatever you say your highness.
Glory: THREE MOONS QIBLI.
Handsome: We also have the venom-targeting match.
Glory: And we don't go into details.
Handsome: At your wishes.
We also have a flower hunt, where a rare flower is hidden in the Arboretum. The last one was rather peaceful and fair. The most fair out of any of the contests in your royal challenge Queen Glory.
Also, the meal-preparation contest. Where each dragon is tasked to create a meal with some ingredients.
Glory: Good thing Magnificent didn't choose that one.
Handsome: The one she did choose was the camouflage contest if I remember correctly.
Glory: We don't talk about that one either.
Qibli: Ooooo what happened? Did you lose?
Glory: Qibli, don't.
Handsome: And lastly, the sloth taming task where each dragon is introduced to a sloth she has never met before. Then the first dragon to coax the sloth to climb on her neck wins.
Glory: Hm. I bonded with Silver pretty fast.
Qibli: No way, you have a sloth named Silver?
Glory: Qibli. On that note, let's pass it on to Fatespeaker to explain the Rainforest.
Qibli: And spare Glory the embarrassment.
Glory: QIBLI!
Layout of the Rainforest Kingdom:[]
(written by Fatespeaker)
The RainWing village is an intertwining mess of wooden bridges, platforms and huts, perched among the trees and decorated with these beautiful flowers that smell really good. I think it's strictly off limits to NightWings but since I'm special, I'm allowed to go there!
The the RainWing village, there's a healer's hut where the RainWing healers heal their tribe. I here they know how to fix tails that have been used to tree glide too much, what to do when you've eaten too much mangos (which is really weird), and how to heal jaguar bites. It's kinda scary knowing there's jaguars who can hurt dragons in the rainforest. And there's the royal pavilion where Queen Glory resides and dragons come to her with problems. Also the wingery which is where the dragonets live, shielded from the dangers of the rainforest.
The NightWing village is where most of the NightWing tribe lives. It's also just a bunch of huts but on the forest floor and the sunlight doesn't really get through the canopy as well as it does in the RainWing village. Which is why I prefer the RainWing village better! A stream runs through it too I think. It's actually very nice and it's growing larger very fast with more dragonets being born and huts being built.
The NightWing tunnels were made by Stonemover who is Sunny's father and an animus which is cool but also scary. One leads to the desert and the other to the NightWing island. Apparently, they were supposed to be for Blister's SandWing army and Morrowseer's NightWing army to swoop in and take the rainforest from the RainWings which(luckily) didn't happen.
The Ice Kingdom[]
(this next part is right from the guide but I had to include it)
SkyWings are red.
SeaWings are blue.
Don't trust anyone
Who looks different from you.
RainWings change color.
MudWings are brown.
If a dragon's not an IceWing,
They're a danger to our crown.
NightWings are black.
SandWings are beige.
If you see someone unfamiliar,
You should immediately ice them in the face, just to be safe
Assisted by Lynx of the IceWings
Glory: You teach that to dragonets?
Lynx: Yeah.
Qibli: Wow, that's some... interesting stuff. Also, you shouldn't ice SandWings in the face. Wait, did Winter help write that?
Lynx: Winter? No it was written before he was born. I think.
Glory: Alright, enough of that. The Ice Kingdom is one of the only kingdoms I haven't technically visited before my coronation.
Qibli: I though you visited that one before. And met Deathbringer.
Glory: Those were only the outskirts.
Lynx: If she had tried to get in, she would have died. The Great Ice Cliff, remember?
Qibli: Right.
Glory: Anyway...
The Ice Kingdom can be described as a frozen wasteland with almost no chances of survival-
Lynx: Hey-
Glory: If you would let me finish.
-by other tribes. But for IceWings, it is a beautiful sparkling place with ample food and pristine peaks. Also the right temperature. *notices Qibli opening his mouth* For IceWings of course.
Lynx: Yes. That's more correct.
Qibli: Hmmm. I liked the first description more.
Glory: Just... don't argue. And the IceWing tribe also enjoys hunting in the water.
Qibli: They what?
Lynx: Well we just take what we get. Besides, seals are delicious.
Glory: And the tribe also teaches their dragonets in swimming to catch more food for the tribe and be good assets to the tribe and raise in the rankings. More about IceWing rankings later. But anyways, the IceWings are very strict about their education but that is sometimes good.
Lynx: Sometimes?
Qibli: Why are you favoring IceWings?
Glory: What do you mean? I- I'm not.
Qibli: Yeah sure.
Glory: Anyways, many villages are dotted among the snowy lands of the Ice Kingdom that house all the IceWings with too low of a ranking to live in the palace.
Lynx: Living in the palace isn't that much of an upgrade actually. It's hard living there and the beds aren't nearly as comfortable. All the dragons are so strict and you just can't seem to have much fun there. It's really hard to even start a conversation.
Qibli: Which is why the Kingdom of Sand is so much better. The palace is the opposite with everything a SandWing could want-
Lynx: That's because all the other villages suck in the Sand Kingdom.
Qibli: It's the Kingdom of Sand!
Glory: GUYS STOP. YOU ARE GIVING ME A HEADACHE AND YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO GIVE QUEENS HEADACHES.
Lynx: Right. Sorry your majesty.
Qibli:...that's a rule?
The Animus Gifts[]
Assisted by Queen Snowfall of the IceWings
Glory: Queen Snowfall. *bows perfectly*
Snowfall: RIGHT. Queen Glory. *bows awkwardly*
Qibli: Hi.
Glory: And on that note let's get to it.
Glory:
Qibli:
Snowfall: ........right that means I have to talk AHEM uh so we IceWings were one of the only tribes with animus magic. And we figured out magic, making it safe and powering our tribe. There was a rule that animi would only use their magic once to create a beautiful helpful spell that benefits the tribe and then live out the rest of their lives as carefree, normal dragons.
Qibli: Are you quoting your history teacher?
Snowfall: No! I mean, I guess I'm quoting a book...
Qibli: Lemme guess, is it named 'Why IceWings are the best tribe ever'?
Snowfall: No you dimwit! Only SandWings like you could come up with names so unbelievably dumb! No IceWing in their right minds would write a book called that!
Qibli: Uh huh.
Snowfall: Curse you unbeliever!
Qibli: What now?
Glory: AHEM if you're quite done.
Snowfall: Yes yes I don't actually care but yes yes. Uh what were we... animus gifts. Yes. As I was saying before being VERY RUDELY interrupted, we IceWings have figured out the secret behind animus magic. And now the actual gifts...
First the gift of strength. They are bracelets that give the user super strength. Be warned, your scales will not be protected from the damage that you do to them when you are pounding ice or other stuff. I speak from personal experience.
Qibli: That image is truly terrifying.
Snowfall: Was that a compliment?
Glory: Usually. But since this is Qibli, no.
Qibli: Rude-
Glory: Please continue.
Snowfall: Hm. You guys need some IceWing discipline drilled into your brains.
Next we have the Gift of Light. This one-
Qibli: Oh yes I remember this one! Winter wouldn't stop going on and on about how the gift of light is so awesome.
Snowfall: Well it is! The dragon who created it, Frostbite, carved the tree with her own talons instead of magically making it which is dedication if I've ever seen it. She even made it a tree that isn't native to the Ice Kingdom so she had to travel out of the kingdom to study the trees.
Qibli: That isn't really a big deal.
Snowfall: Mind you that traveling out of the kingdom was dangerous back then! NightWings really were sneaking creeps, the Sand Kingdom-
Qibli: Kingdom of Sand!
Snowfall: *ignores him* -is incredibly hot and wars and threats were flying everywhere.
Glory: And RainWings were warlike.
Qibli: They were???
Glory:...stereotypes.
Snowfall: ANYWAYS the gift of light is a tree with globes of light hanging around it. It is an IceWing tradition for any IceWings visiting the palace to one which will then follow them around, bringing light.
Qibli: And light is good.
Snowfall: Yes. That basically sums it up.
Uhhh, next we have the ever annoying gift of vision! It's this one magic ring that I couldn't take off, you two remember that one?
Qibli: Yep. That was... concerning. But it was a really fascinating piece of jewelry, I wonder what else we could do with it!
Glory: Qibli has two modes. One where he's his usual annoying self. Another when he hears 'animus magic' and gets all techy.
Qibli: Hey- I mean true but still! Hey!
(will come back later)
Lots of Caribou[]
Assisted by Caribou of the IceWings
Glory: Nice to meet you Caribou.
Caribou: It is an honor Queen Glory.
Glory: Thank you. And this is Qibli, an annoying good for nothing-
Qibli: HEY!
Glory: -moon-licking idiot.
Qibli: Uh- RUDE!
Glory: Lets let Caribou continue, shall we?
Qibli: Ooo yes! I was told you were a bard. Are you going to preform for us?
Caribou: Yes-
Qibli: AWESOME I brought popcorn! *pulls out a bag of popcorn*
Glory: What. Where did you- never mind. Please proceed Caribou.
Caribou: *clears throat* Every performance begins with an introduction. So that is what I will do. My name is Caribou, not to be confused with my mother Caribou or my grandmother Caribou or my friend Caribou or my best friends sister Caribou or-
Qibli: Woah hold up why are you guys all called Caribou.
Glory: Qibli! Don't interrupt!
Caribou: I was getting to that. I know there are a lot of us but it is a great honor to be named Caribou for we are named after the great Princess Caribou who created the gift of subsistence.
Qibli: Oh yes that. Snowfall told us about that one.
Caribou: Then you must know what it is! The gift is three holes carved in the ice that produce a seal every time a dragon reaches into it.
Qibli: Handy. Except I don't like seals.
Glory: Qibli! They're an IceWing delicacy. Stop being rude.
Qibli: Stop being such a ***
Creator: LANGUAGE NO SWEARING ON THE WIKI
Glory: What...
Creator: I wasn't here. *vanishes*
Caribou: Um.
Glory: ...
Qibli: What was that.
Caribou: ANYWAYS.
The gift of subsistence has a long, bittersweet story. Princess Caribou, an animus who was born under a typical IceWing royal family. But she was different. She cared for the non-royal IceWings even though everyone around her treated us like spoiled food and encouraged her to do the same. She was special. Then she fell in love with a dragon from an outside village and for her gift, she made the gift of subsistence.
Qibli: Alright.
Caribou: The gift of subsistence is only in three IceWing villages and we consider ourselves special.
Glory: And those villages are?
Caribou: We-Remember-and-Venerate-Caribou and Where-No-Dragon-Goes-Hungry-
Qibli: Excuse me what???
Caribou: What’s wrong?
Qibli: You’re telling me you guys name your villages that?
Caribou: What’s wrong with that?
Qibli: Oh… nothing…
Glory: Don’t even think about it.
Qibli: Oh I’m thinking about it…
Caribou: Do I want to...?
Glory: NO now continue.
Caribou: Ok...
I admit we could have gone an easier way to solve the name problem by just naming our whole village after Caribou like We-Remember-and-Venerate-Caribou did but I personally think Village-of-the-Plentiful-Seals is a better name. And besides, I like being called Caribou. It makes me feel special although there are probably like 30 of us in just our village right now.
Where-No-Dragon-Goes-Hungry honors her the statue route instead. Like, they have a huge one and each year they hold a competition to see who can make the best Caribou statue. The huge one is really pretty, it's carved from a giant whale bone and they even traded a whole bunch of seals to get sapphires for her eyes.
Qibli: Question, how on earth do you carve whale bone?
Caribou: I have never tried. Although, we can use metal or other animal bones. Or our claws. Probably not our claws.
Glory: Yep, it is not a good feeling to claw at something hard, that I can tell you.
Caribou: No, it really isn't.
Qibli: Hey-
Glory: Please continue Caribou. How does your village honor... erm... Princess Caribou?
Caribou: Well, we do a feast every year dedicated to her where we invite a whole bunch of other villages to eat, sing, tell stories, dance, and eat some more for about five days usually. We do it under the three moons and the shimmering aurora borealis of the Great Ice Dragon's frostbreath.
Glory: Oh yeah that reminds me. After this Pyrrhia thing I'm going to be paired with Qibli AGAIN to figure out the religions of every tribe in Pyrrhia.
Qibli: Yep, more time to bond!
Glory: *sighs in exhaustion* Ok Caribou, proceed.
Caribou: Yes your majesty,
Anyways, apparently Caribou fell in love with a lovely outer dragon named Snowstorm which prompted her to make her gift. Eventually, Snowstorm would become Caribou's best friend and later, advisor. He also brought her to our outer villages to show her how life was like for us dragons out of the palace. Anyways, we believe he inspired the gift so that's why my brother is named Snowstorm and so is my father and-
Glory: Yeah, yeah we get it.
Qibli: Dude, how do you keep track of everyone? If you get lost and your mother calls your name literally twenty heads are gonna snap up all at once and be like 'what?'.
Caribou: Ok... I guess it isn't the least confusing situation but hey, we rarely have to stress about forgetting someone's name!
Glory: You're so optimistic... bless you.
Caribou, Anyways, my daughter is called Caribou and she's attending Jade Mountain and maybe she'll make a destiny for herself there! Who knows?
Qibli: Hate to say it but there's a very high chance, that you are right.
(oh my god that took forever *cries* those village names took so long *cries more*)
Bonus chapters[]
(for when I don't have the guide on me)
Narrated by all Wings of Fire characters, edited by Editor
Ft. Creator
Welcome to bonus chapters, something to keep people entertained while I work on the actual chapters. And also, I'm bored.
Why the name?[]
Creator has permanently opened this chat to live
Blue: Guys, have you ever wondered why we have the names we have?
Cricket: Ask our parents?
Peril: Half of us don't have parents.
Glory: Well some of us are pretty easy. Like I'm named after 'glory' as in 'fame and glory' like... being famous. Being loved by everyone.
Sunny: Oh yes! I'm named after the adjective 'sunny' which is when the sun shines really bright!
Moon: I'm named after the moon for one and because I was born bathed in moonlight and the first thing I did was look at the moons. At least that's what my mom says.
Kinkajou: OH OH OH I'M NAMED AFTER THIS SUPER CUTE AND SMALL MONKEY!
Turtle: Um... I'm named after a sea turtle.
Peril: I still can't believe those are a thing.
Tsunami: My name is a natural disaster.
Qibli: Yeah that big terrifying wave thingy.
Clay: Tsunami's a wave?
Glory: A wave of stupidness.
Tsunami: WHY YOU-
Clay: Woah! I'm sure we can solve this another way.
Luna: I'm named after a... moth? A luna moth!
Blue: Um. The color?
Starflight: And probably the Common Blue, a species of butterfly. Or, I don't know. Is he blue?
Luna: He has a bit.
Cricket: Mainly purple and stuff. Still beautiful though!
Sundew: There's a carnivorous plant in the poison jungle called a Sundew. It lures travelers in with a sweet smell and then the sticky tentacles grab you and hold you and dissolve you and-
Cricket: We don't need the details!
Clay: I'm named after that type of mud!
Glory: Yeah the one that grows in and near the river.
Wren: We use clay to build some stuff.
Starflight: You use Clay as a brick?
Wren: What? No!
Sunny: *rubs head* this is getting confusing...
Cricket: I'm named after the insect!
Starflight:... well I'd think I'm named after the notion of flying into the stars. 'star' and 'flight' or possibly stars flying but I personally like the first one better.
Swordtail: Urg. Too much science. Hurting my brain.
Luna; You need it!
Jambu: I'm the GAY FRUIT!
Glory: Jambu is a fruit?
Tsunami: Jambu is gay?
Glory: Got anything against that Tsunami.
Tsunami: Well no but-
Jambu: Hi sis! Nice to see you again.
Glory: Seriously Jambu?
Winter: Um ok. And my name is-
Creator: CUT! Do dragons have the season 'winter'?
Wren: Fair question.
Winter:...
Qibli: Nah, not here. Here all we have is summer.
Creator: Ok, on Earth we go through four seasons one at a time. But in the dragon universe every spot seems to just be stuck in one season. Like the Ice Kingdom seems to be eternally winter while the Kingdom of Sand stays summer all year round (like, not even normal deserts do that!). The Kingdom of the Sea never freezes over and the rainforest stays forever humid. The Sky Kingdom and Mud Kingdom which would show the most change, don't change at all. Instead they seem to be stuck somewhere between spring, summer, and fall!
So does the dragon world really have seasons?
(we'll come back to it later!)
Winter: Well I'm definitely named after the season.
Swordtail: I'm obviously named after the swordtail butterfly.
Peril: Uh. I'm named after 'peril' or 'mortal danger' because of my firescales. Also words like 'perilous' which all have something to do with 'dangerous'.
*everyone looks at Qibli who has been weirdly quiet the entire time*
Moon: What is Qibli named after?
Qibli: Uh, well. I've always had a weird name I suppose. I don't know why Cobra named me this word but I think it comes from the word 'Qibla'.
Creator: Qibla is the direction Muslims face five times a day as a prayer to the gods. Why Qibli would be named after a direction is anyone's guess but until I figure out more, it's the closest thing we got.
Winter: ...that's complicated.
Creator: Congrats you have summed up Qibli's name, Wings of Fire lore, all of our lives and this wiki.
What is a wiki?[]
Moon: Hey Creator?
Creator: Yeah?
Moon: You keep mentioning a wiki... but what is a wiki?
Creator: ...that's complicated.
Winter: Congratulations you have summed up all of our lives.
Qibli: Yeah, what is a wiki?
Turtle: I've been wondering that too.
Literally everyone else: Yes and me.
Creator: You guys are impossible. Ok, so a wiki is short for 'Wikipedia'.
Clay: Huh.
Creator: Wikipedia is a website that you should never trust since uh, everyone can edit it. But it's also very informative so everyone still uses it.
Wren: What is a website.
Creator: *sigh* This is gonna take a while. A website is something you can go on when you use a computer.
Cricket: What's a computer? What color is it? Does it-
Sundew: Yes yes we get it.
Creator: You guys seriously don't have computers? They're these devices powered by electricity that can do a lot of cool stuff.
Swordtail: Cool stuff? I like the sound of that.
Creator: Yeah. Ok. Back to what a wiki is. The official Wikipedia website holds information about real life. Meanwhile, a fandom wiki which is what I'm talking about, holds information that is fiction. Like media. Like... for example... like Comet. The guy Starflight reads about.
Starflight: How did you-
Creator: If you go onto say... NightWing Myths Wiki and search up 'Comet' you'll get a page that talks all about him.
Starflight: Woah. Yeah you're right it does sound pretty cool.
Tsunami: And when Starflight says that, we know we're all in trouble.
Sunny: Tsunami!
Creator: Yeah. Basically the wiki I'm on is super chaotic. And stuff.
Winter: Sounds like the Jade Winglet.
Glory: And the Dragonets.
Cricket: And us!
Swordtail: Us? How lame... we need an awesome name too!
Luna: Honeydrop Lovers!
Sundew: Uh... no.
Cricket: Book Squad!
Luna: No offense but... ew no.
Swordtail: How about: super-epic-heroes-who-saved-the-world-in-the-best-way?
Everyone else: NO!
(A bit short. But I did describe a wiki correctly, did I?) (as for the chaotic part, no one can say I'm lying (LOOKING AT YOU SUNSET))
Who's the best queen?[]
Creator: That is the question.
Qibli: And the answer is simple. Thorn. All the way through.
Tsunami: And why so?
Qibli: Well she saved the Kingdom of Sand! She brought us peace. She actually cares and tries to make the best decisions. She's a good fighter and cares for the weakest of her kingdom and plus she has a sense of humor.
Tsunami: Ah yes. The thing all queens need. A sense of humor.
Qibli: It's helpful!
Thorn: Although I'm flattered Qibli-
Qibli: Thorn! Uh, your majesty. Since when did you have access to this place?
Thorn: You'd be surprised at how much a queen can do.
Creator: Translation: I let her in.
Qibli: Well now that you're here, you can defend the Kingdom of Sand's honor against this SeaWing who seems to think that her queen is better though that is clearly untrue!
Tsunami: Since when did I tell you I thought Coral is a better queen?
Moray: Blasphemy! Disgrace! *glares at Tsunami*
Tsunami: GAH WHO LET HER IN?
Creator: *casually glances at the door*
Tsunami: CREATOR
Glory: This I can agree with Tsunami on. We should never let this creature in.
Starflight: Seconded.
Moray: I'll have you know I'm completely honorable to her majesty Queen Coral herself! I'll make sure she hears about this!
Coral: What is going on here?
Moray: Queen Coral! *starts her daily round of groveling* It is an honor.
Tsunami: See what I mean?
Lynx: Well I believe that the best queen here is Queen Snowfall!
Snowfall: Don't listen to a word she says!
Winter: But she's complimenting you-
Snowfall: I DON'T CARE
Winter: ...
Cliff: Mommy is the best queen!
Ruby: Cliff how did you-
Cliff: She's the best! She battled grandmother and won and saved the whole kingdom and I made a song to honor her! Wanna hear it?
Glory: For the sake of our eardrums, no.
Luna: Um, I believe the best queen on Pantala and maybe Pyrrhia would be Queen Monarch.
Qibli: Didn't she abandon your tribe?
Luna: How would you know?
Cricket: I told him!
Luna: ...turns out she didn't abandon us! But I guess I'll leave that for another time.
Blue: Plus she's super peace keeping, making sure no SilkWings died in the wars and loves us all and is way better than Queen Wasp.
Willow: Well I believe Sequoia is the best queen. She stood up against Queen Wasp for a long time, kept her tribe hidden and safe, and was planning rebellion the whole time. She's really resourceful and wise and I'm proud to call her my great grand-mother!
Sora: Um, I-I think Queen Moorhen is the best queen here. She kept the MudWings safe - or tried to - she has our best interests in heart, and she's an awesome queen who we all look up to.
Umber: I agree!
Deathbringer: Oh no no no no the honor of the best queen falls upon the majestic, wonderful, glorious-
Glory: Shut up.
Sunny: Guys, can't we just all agree that the queens are equally good?
Qibli: BETRAYAL TO YOUR TRIBE
Moray: DISGRACE
Umber: Um-
Luna: Seems not.
Cliff: NO MOMMY IS THE BEST
Sunny: *sigh*
Creator: Well that escalated quickly...
(apologies for the terribleness of the Pantalan characters I haven't read arc 3 in forever)
Round 2!: Who's the worst villain?[]
Editor: This is a bad idea.
Creator: It's a chaotic idea and we like that. Plus shut up, this is my story. NOW GIVE ME THAT SUMMONING BOOK. AND SCRAM.
Editor: *hands over the book and scrams*
Qibli: Hey Creator what are you doing?
Creator: None of your business. Actually since you're here first like always... *waves the book around a bit and a dragon appears (or three dragons), the SandWing princesses Burn, Blister and Blaze*
Qibli: *jumps* Woah! Are they real?
Burn: Of course we're real you insolent fool! I should rip your head off and stud it on a spike!
Tsunami: Ok Creator, explain.
Creator: Nah. *summons a bunch of other villains and quickly vanishes*
Tsunami: CREATOR
Whirlpool: Tsunami about those marriage plans-
Tsunami: NO GET OUT EW EW EW EW EW EW EW GLORY HELP SPIT SOME VENOM ON THIS FREAK OR SOMETHING
Coral: Now Tsunami, that was very rude. Isn't Whirlpool very-
Tsunami: NO
Glory: Thought you'd never ask!
Anemone: Are we exterminating Whirlpool? CAN I HELP?
Whirlpool: Now, we can talk about this-
Tsunami: GET HIM
*Whirlpool runs out of the room followed by Tsunami, Glory and Anemone to fulfill the wishes of all Wings of Fire fans, closely followed by Coral and Moray. Unseen, Orca follows as well*
Creator: Awesome. Alright now I will ask, who is the worst villain? That is the question.
Winter: Darkstalker, no question.
Darkstalker: Did I really do that much bad?
Qibli: Yes Darkstalker, you saw your soul measurements. You were almost completely bad. Most of the sand was white.
Luna: Doesn't white stand for good?
Snowfall: NightWings. Always thinking black is the superior color.
Darkstalker: It is!
Wasp: Why isn't my mind control working?
Creator: I'm not that stupid.
Cricket: You were trying to what?
Sundew: You.
Hawthorn: Now-
Sundew: No playing innocent! Willow stabbed you with a root, she'll do it again!
Kinkajou: I also vote Darkstalker!
Winter: So do I.
Moon: Do we really have to choose?
Winter: Yes you idiot.
Qibli: NO CALLING MOON AN IDIOT.
Creator: No Qinterwatcher drama! We'll need an extra book, table of contents, and title for that!
Qibli: Ooo yes do that.
Creator: NO.
Fathom: Hey, what's happening?
Qibli: Who's this Turtle rip-off?
Turtle: Turtle rip-off? This is my great great great great great great great great great great great great... something grandfather!
Fathom: Er, what?
Clearsight: Hm?
Darkstalker: Clearsight! *stares at her*
Clearsight: Darkstalker! *also stares at him*
Qibli: Hm hm.
Darkstalker: *tries to hug her*
Clearsight: No *waves him away
Qibli: Pffft REJECTED
Darkstalker: WHY YOU LITTLE- brooms go chase this obnoxious SandWing to the edge of the sea! Then drown him!
Creator: Brooms, don't do that!
Fathom: Um. It seems like we're voting for worst villain.
Clearsight: Queen Wasp. She used my name for exactly the opposite of what it's meant for, waging war on the LeafWings and nearly killing them all, imprisoning the SilkWings with fake lies that she says came from me, I would never doom an entire tribe!
Fathom: Um.
Indigo: Albatross, definitely Albatross. He massacred all of Fathom's family members and almost killed me and Fathom as well! I'm glad he's dead and can't do any harm.
Starflight: Creator can summon the dead? Why, that defies all the laws of-
Glory: Yeah we get it.
Editor: See what I mean?
Creator: Shoo!
Burn: Well, it seems I have all the dragons I want to kill in one place. *breathes fire at Sunny*
Qibli: DUCK! *jumps on Sunny*
*everyone starts fighting everyone like a wholesome family*
Creator: That's my que *vanishes*
Sunny: ACK!
Tsunami: CREATOR GET BACK HERE YOU NEED TO SEND THESE IDIOTS AWAY!
Creator: Sure.
Tsunami: What. I didn't-
Creator: *waves her book* There you go. Gone.
Ending it there because my motivation is all lost ToT
Creator: Don't worry, we'll come back to this!
Editor: We'll what now?
