{{Map:Pyrrhia}}
'''Pyrrhia''', also known as the '''Distant Kingdoms''' by the [[dragons]] of [[Pantala]], is the sole setting of the ''[[Wings of Fire (book series)|Wings of Fire]]'' series during the first ten books, as well as the main setting of the ''[[Wings of Fire: Legends|Legends]]'' and ''[[Wings of Fire: Winglets|Winglets]]'' books. Pyrrhia is a large continent with highly varied biomes, including  the [[Ice Kingdom]], the [[Kingdom of Sand]], the [[Sky Kingdom]], the [[Mud Kingdom]], the [[Rainforest Kingdom]], the [[Kingdom of the Sea]], and the [[NightWing island]]. The [[Lost city of night|Old NightWing Kingdom]] was located on a peninsula southwest of the Kingdom of Sand. During the time of ''[[Darkstalker (Legends)|Darkstalker]]'', this peninsula used to be larger, forming the "claw" of Pyrrhia. The [[humans]] who inhabit Pyrrhia live in [[human settlements]].


'''Pyrrhia''', also known as the '''Distant Kingdoms''' by the dragons of [[Pantala]], is the sole setting of the ''Wings of Fire'' series during the first ten books. It is one of the two known continents, with the other being Pantala. Pyrrhia has highly varied geographical regions, listed as the [[Ice Kingdom]], [[Kingdom of Sand]], [[Sky Kingdom]], [[Mud Kingdom]], [[Rainforest Kingdom]], The Kingdom of The Sea, and the [[NightWing Island|Night Kingdom]], which had been located on an unknown volcanic island north of the [[Sky Kingdom]]. The island is now uninhabited after the volcano erupted, forcing the [[NightWings|NightWing]] tribe to relocate to the [[Rainforest Kingdom]]. There is also the [[The Lost City of Night|old Night Kingdom]], also known as the Lost City of Night, located on a peninsula southeast of the Kingdom of Sand. During the time of ''[[Darkstalker (Legends)|Darkstalker]]'', this peninsula used to be larger, forming the "claw" of Pyrrhia. The scavengers who live on Pyrrhia have their villages, or to dragons, dens, including [[Valor]], [[Talisman]], and the [[Indestructible City]].
== Description ==
Pyrrhia is a dragon-shaped continent composed of several different biomes. A large mountain range, the [[Claws of the Clouds Mountains]], runs through the center of Pyrrhia, from the "wing" of Pyrrhia down to its "belly". The largest mountain in the range was formerly [[Agate Mountain]],{{Ref|L1|352}} but after it was destroyed by an avalanche approximately 2000 years ago,{{Ref|L1|357}} [[Jade Mountain]] is now considered the largest.{{Ref|L1|352}}


The mainland is shaped like a dragon, and it is similar to Canada and the United States of America when it comes to climate and geographical shape.
=== [[Ice Kingdom]] ===
The Ice Kingdom forms the "head" of Pyrrhia. Its terrain primarily consists of snowy and icy tundras,{{Ref|TDG|131}}{{Ref|W4q|156}} and it is well known for its sub-zero temperatures and freezing winds.{{Ref|WT|236}} Due to the cold temperatures, it is extremely difficult for dragons other than [[IceWings]] to live there. The land between the Ice Kingdom and the Kingdom of Sand is a barren wasteland{{Ref|EP|19}} that is highly contested territory between the two tribes.{{Ref|TDG|83}}


==Geography==
=== [[Night Kingdom]] ===
[[File:Map-Pyrrhia.png|thumb|This is the map in the first five books]] A large mountain range runs roughly down the center of the entire continent, which is called the [[Claws of the Clouds Mountains]], where the [[The Dragonets of Destiny|Dragonets of Destiny]] were hatched and raised. This is part of the SkyWings' territory and separates the eastern and western halves of Pyrrhia - and which is presumably also responsible for the drastic weather differences on the continent. The tallest mountain in this range is known as [[Jade Mountain]].
The lost city of night was located on the Talon Peninsula of Pyrrhia. It was characterized by vast canyons and ravines.{{Ref|L1|13}} Caverns and caves were carved into the rock.{{Ref|L1|14}} The city was surrounded by a range of sharp-edged mountains known to the IceWings as [[Darkstalker's Teeth]].{{Ref|DoD|215}} It was abandoned by the NightWings in fear of [[Darkstalker (L1)|Darkstalker]]'s return.{{Ref|EP|277}} who fled to live on the [[NightWing island]]. Over time, the peninsula sank into the sea, and shrunk due to earthquakes,{{Ref|DoD|214}}  avalanches,{{Ref|DoD|214}}  tidal waves,{{Ref|DoD|214}}  and Darkstalker's magic.{{Ref|Event|https://www.deviantart.com/biohazardia/journal/Wings-of-Fire-News-at-Boskone-2020-831252663}} It was briefly inhabited by Darkstalker and some NightWings in ''[[Talons of Power (book)|Talons of Power]]'' and ''[[Darkness of Dragons]]'' but was later re-abandoned. In the modern period, it is full of ruined and unstable structures, including an abandoned theater.{{Ref|AGttDW|102-103}} Constructed around the ruins of the old city is [[Renewal]], a settlement led by [[Fierceteeth]].{{Ref|AGttDW|102}}


The Ice Kingdom is dominated by the tundra's ice lands, snow shelves, and glaciers. To its south is the Kingdom of Sand. Because of the sub-zero temperatures and [[Great Ice Cliff]], no dragons other than IceWings can live there, unless visitors wear the [[Animus-Touched Objects|Gift of Diplomacy]], which allow the wearer perfect body temperature and safe passage into the kingdom.
=== [[Kingdom of Sand]] ===
The Kingdom of Sand makes up the "chest" or southwestern portion of Pyrrhia. It is characterized by its vast,{{Ref|L1|314}} scorching{{Ref|EP|120}} desert landscape and rolling dunes.{{Ref|W3q|87}} The terrain is flat{{Ref|L2|56}} and adorned with numerous oases{{Ref|EP|119}} and oasis towns.{{Ref|L1|315}}{{Ref|ToPe}} The desert is also home to the Great Five-Tail River, which historically was a highly disputed territory between the SandWings and SkyWings.{{Ref|WT|198}} The dragon settlement of [[Possibility]] is located along the river.


The Kingdom of Sand is made of rolling dunes and cacti. The heat and lack of humidity are almost unbearable to dragons other than [[SandWings]], except [[RainWings]], who enjoy the sunlight.
=== [[Kingdom of the Sea]] ===
The Kingdom of the Sea forms the "tail" of Pyrrhia. It is primarily made up of small islands, forming the archipelago known as the [[Bay of a Thousand Scales]]. It is characterized by vast stretches of ocean,{{Ref|TLH|22}} featuring landforms such as white beaches,{{Ref|TLH|23}} coral reefs,{{Ref|TLH|25}} and kelp forests.{{Ref|TLH|56}}


The Mud Kingdom is populated with swampland, reeds, and tends to be very humid. Along the Mud Kingdoms' northern border is the [[Diamond Spray River]] which meets up with the ocean at the [[Diamond Spray Delta]].
=== [[Mud Kingdom]] ===
The Mud Kingdom makes up the "back" of Pyrrhia. Its terrain primarily consists of a vast, marshy wetland,{{Ref|L2|55–56}} with stretches of grassland{{Ref|TDP|263}} scattered with trees.{{Ref|TDP|264}} Along the Mud Kingdom's northern border is the [[Diamond Spray River]], which feeds into the [[Diamond Spray Delta]].


The Rainforest Kingdom is comprised of several creatures and an endless tangle of vines and trees. Most tribes other than RainWings find the jungle plants and insects annoying and difficult to navigate through.
=== [[Rainforest Kingdom]] ===
The Rainforest Kingdom forms the "hind leg" or southeastern section of Pyrrhia. It is characterized by its giant trees,{{Ref|WT|27}}  vibrant flowers,{{Ref|THK|59}} tangles of vines,{{Ref|WT|27}} and thick canopies of leaves.{{Ref|WT|27}}  After the [[NightWing Exodus]], the [[NightWing village]] was constructed within the kingdom to serve as the NightWing tribe's new home.{{Ref|WT|42}}


At the extreme east of the continent where chains of islands form the dragon's tail is the Kingdom of the Sea, also known as the [[Bay of a Thousand Scales]].
=== [[Sky Kingdom]] ===
The Sky Kingdom forms the "wing" of Pyrrhia. It is characterized by cliffs,{{Ref|WT|131}} mountains,{{Ref|WT|130}} rivers,{{Ref|WT|130}} lakes,{{Ref|WT|162}} forests,{{Ref|WT|130}} and valleys.{{Ref|WT|154}} The mountains, most notably the Claws of the Clouds Mountains, are often shrouded in mist.{{Ref|EP|170}} It is separated from the Mud Kingdom by the [[Winding Tail River]]. The dragon settlement of Sanctuary is located within the Sky Kingdom, in the foothills of the Claws of the Clouds Mountains.{{Ref|DoDe}} Numerous human settlements are located in the Sky Kingdom, including the [[Indestructible City]] and [[Talisman]].


Pyrrhia appears to be placed in two hemispheres, as rainforests form solely near the equator of a planet where the climate is warm and humid, with the Ice Kingdom and the northern Sky Kingdom being in the colder northern hemisphere.
=== Other tribes ===
[[BeetleWings]] and [[LeafWings]] used to live on Pyrrhia before escaping to Pantala due to an unknown trouble.{{Ref|TPJ|142}}


There are three rivers with known names: the Diamond Spray River, the [[Great Five-Tail River|Great Five-Tail River (the Great River)]], and the [[Winding Tail River]].
== Notable features ==
=== Kingdoms ===
* [[Ice Kingdom]]
* [[Kingdom of Sand]]
* [[Kingdom of the Sea]]
* [[Lost city of night]]
* [[Mud Kingdom]]
* [[NightWing island]]
* [[Rainforest Kingdom]]
* [[Sky Kingdom]]


Two thousand years ago, the bottom "talon" peninsula was the old Night Kingdom. The final queen there ( Vigilance)  abandoned it due to urging from [[Clearsight]] and [[Listener]]. Over time, it significantly shrinks, due to natural terrain erosion, tsunamis battering the peninsula, and/or earthquakes.
=== Geographical features ===
* [[Agate Mountain]]
* [[Claws of the Clouds Mountains]]
* [[Darkstalker's Teeth]]
* [[Diamond Spray Delta]]
* [[Diamond Spray River]]
* [[Great Five-Tail River]]
* [[Jade Mountain]]
* [[Winding Tail River]]


== Flora and Fauna Layout of Pyrrhia ==
=== Dragon settlements ===
The flora layout of Pyrrhia is quite similar to that of Earth, according to geographical regions. For example, in the Rainforest Kingdom, there are jungle plants that resemble those that grow in areas such as the Congo or Amazon.
* [[Possibility]]
* [[Renewal]]
* [[Sanctuary]]


Additionally, marine life is present in the oceans and animals adapted to arctic climates can be found in the Ice Kingdom.
=== [[Human settlements]] ===
* [[Indestructible City]]
* Safe Harbor: Safe Harbor was a human settlement that was destroyed by [[Blister]].
* Scavenger Temple: The scavenger temple was a hidden temple with two missing walls located in the forest near Valor.
* [[Talisman]]
* [[Valor]]
** Ruins of Valor: The ruins of Valor, also known as the scavenger ruins to dragons, are the remains of the old village of Valor, found on the border of the Kingdom of Sand and Jade Mountain.


Dragons make up the dominant life form on Pyrrhia, of which seven dragon tribes have formed with each tribe ideally suited to their climate they reside in. A step down are the [[Scavengers|scavengers]], or as we would call them, humans. They show intellect through their ability to build structures and craft basic tools and weapons, small works of art such as pots, baskets, statues, and charcoal drawings have also been found. Scavengers were once the dominant life form on Pyrrhia before the dragons rose against them in the event called [[the Scorching]].
== Flora & Fauna ==
 
{{Dropdown
Many terrestrial animals, including those that are domesticated such as cows and pigs, also appear to inhabit the land and serve as prey for the dragons.

'''Animals'''
== Geographic Features ==
* Anemones{{Ref|TLH|100}}
The western half of Pyrrhia is in the [[wikipedia:Rain shadow|rain shadow]] of the Claws of the Clouds mountains. There is a [[wikipedia:Fault (geology)|fault line]] running directly under the Claws of the Clouds mountains and is likely the same fault line the [[NightWing Fortress|NightWing Volcano]] is located on.

== Tribes ==
The dragons are separated into seven tribes. [[MudWings]], [[SandWings]], [[SkyWings]], [[SeaWings]], [[RainWings]], [[IceWings]], and [[NightWings]].
 
All tribes inhabit a place that suits their needs and have adapted into the tribes of Pyrrhia today. In ''[[The Hidden Kingdom]]'', it is revealed that the NightWings have lived on a volcanic island north of Pyrrhia for two thousand years. The volcano erupts in ''[[The Dark Secret]]'', forcing the tribe to flee their home and move to the [[Rainforest Kingdom]] alongside the RainWings.
 
[[Morrowseer]] mentions that the NightWing island used to be covered in trees until the volcano erupted. What wasn't burned up by lava flows was left covered in ash.
 
[[BeetleWings]] and [[LeafWings]] are also native to Pyrrhia, but long before the series, they had fled to [[Pantala]] for unknown reasons.
 
== Celestial Bodies ==
Throughout the series, it has been shown that three different sized moons orbit the planet where the series takes place. When all three of the moons are full, the dragons refer to it as "the brightest night", which only occurs once a century. None of the moons have known names. [[File:BNFC.jpg|thumb|220px|Two of the three moons and a comet, shown on the full cover of ''The Brightest Night''.]] [[File:Three moons.jpg|thumb|170x170px|What the three moons might look like in Pyrrhia's night sky.]]
 
In ''[[The Brightest Night]]'', a fourth celestial body appeared while the SandWing queen was chosen. [[Princess Sunny|Sunny]] described it as "another brightest night", although such shouldn't have occurred for another ninety-four years. [[Starflight]] believed it was a comet given its increasing size as time passed, and [[Fatespeaker]] claimed to have a vision where it would crush them all. After some discussion, it would later be known as the "[[Orb in the Sky]]" with several indirect impacts on the story.
* The Orb in the Sky would soon disappear from the sky proving Fatespeaker's vision false.
* Following the Orb in the Sky, meteorites were spotted in the sky.
* Darkstalker was awakened from his eternal sleep by the earthquake caused by meteorite impacts.
* Pieces of the Orb in the Sky have fallen on Pyrrhia before. These meteorites were dubbed "[[Skyfire]]" by [[Ex-Princess Onyx|Onyx]], and holding or carrying one will block the mind-reading of a NightWing with telepathic powers.
 
== Changes to the map of Pyrrhia - ''[[Moon Rising]]'' ==
[[File:Map of Pyrrhia - Moon Rising.png|thumb|302x302px]] ''[[Moon Rising]]'' saw the end of the [[War of SandWing Succession]]. This brought about several changes to the map of Pyrrhia, they are as follows:
 
* With the death of [[Princess Burn|Burn]] in ''The Brightest Night'', Sunny's mother [[Queen Thorn|Thorn]] was made the queen of the SandWings and was given possession of Burn's Stronghold. It has been renamed "[[Queen Thorn's Stronghold]]".
* "Under the Mountain" has been removed, and the "[[Claws of the Clouds Mountains]]" are labeled instead.
* "Queen Scarlet's Palace" is now "[[Queen Ruby's Palace]]".
* "[[Queen Moorhen's Palace]]" is now located on the map.
* With the orchestrated attack on the SeaWing Summer Palace by the SkyWings and assisted by the MudWings as seen in ''[[The Lost Heir]]'', its formerly hidden location was made known to the NightWings and has been labeled as "[[Summer Palace of the Sea|Ruins of the Summer Palace]]" on the maps of Pyrrhia.
* "[[Bay of a Thousand Scales]]" is now located on the map.


== Changes to the map of Pyrrhia - ''[[Darkstalker (Legends)|Darkstalker]]'' ==
'''Plants'''

* Agaves{{Ref|L2|433}}
 
* Algae{{Ref|TLH|95}}
Around 2,000 years ago, when Darkstalker hatched, the map of Pyrrhia was quite different. Some of the differences between the Darkstalker map and the other maps are as follows:
* Bamboo{{Ref|L1|293}}
 
* Beans{{Ref|L2|161}}
* The peninsula that is located beneath the [[Kingdom of Sand]] on the rest of the maps is bigger, possibly due to tidal changes in the past two millennia.
* Brambles{{Ref|MR|96}}
* The Night Kingdom is labeled on the map, on the enlarged peninsula, and Queen Vigilance's Palace is also shown.

* Pyrrhia has several animal rights movements,{{Ref|DoD|81}} including:
* The name may also allude to the word "pyrrhic", which means "(of a victory) won at too great a cost to have been worthwhile for the victor". Possibly as a reference to the [[War of SandWing Succession]].
** The Camels' Rights Movement
* Just as Pyrrhians refer to Pantala as The Lost Continent, Pantalans refer to Pyrrhia as The Distant Kingdoms.

* Pyrrhia has appeared in every book in the mainstream, winglets, and legends series.
** Save the Scavengers
* Tui confirmed in an interview that Pyrrhia and Pantala cover 2/3 of the world, which hints that there may be another continent with other dragon tribes.
** World Walrus Fund
* In ''Dragonslayer'', scavengers refer to the continent as Pyrrhia the same way dragons do. It is unknown if this is a mistake or intentional.
* NightWings have calculated that Pyrrhia covers a third of the world.{{Ref|DoD|361}}

Latest revision as of 20:56, 21 March 2026

Pyrrhia, also known as the Distant Kingdoms by the dragons of Pantala, is the sole setting of the Wings of Fire series during the first ten books, as well as the main setting of the Legends and Winglets books. Pyrrhia is a large continent with highly varied biomes, including the Ice Kingdom, the Kingdom of Sand, the Sky Kingdom, the Mud Kingdom, the Rainforest Kingdom, the Kingdom of the Sea, and the NightWing island. The Old NightWing Kingdom was located on a peninsula southwest of the Kingdom of Sand. During the time of Darkstalker, this peninsula used to be larger, forming the "claw" of Pyrrhia. The humans who inhabit Pyrrhia live in human settlements.

Description

Pyrrhia is a dragon-shaped continent composed of several different biomes. A large mountain range, the Claws of the Clouds Mountains, runs through the center of Pyrrhia, from the "wing" of Pyrrhia down to its "belly". The largest mountain in the range was formerly Agate Mountain,[1] but after it was destroyed by an avalanche approximately 2000 years ago,[2] Jade Mountain is now considered the largest.[1]

Ice Kingdom

The Ice Kingdom forms the "head" of Pyrrhia. Its terrain primarily consists of snowy and icy tundras,[3][4] and it is well known for its sub-zero temperatures and freezing winds.[5] Due to the cold temperatures, it is extremely difficult for dragons other than IceWings to live there. The land between the Ice Kingdom and the Kingdom of Sand is a barren wasteland[6] that is highly contested territory between the two tribes.[7]

Night Kingdom

The lost city of night was located on the Talon Peninsula of Pyrrhia. It was characterized by vast canyons and ravines.[8] Caverns and caves were carved into the rock.[9] The city was surrounded by a range of sharp-edged mountains known to the IceWings as Darkstalker's Teeth.[10] It was abandoned by the NightWings in fear of Darkstalker's return.[11] who fled to live on the NightWing island. Over time, the peninsula sank into the sea, and shrunk due to earthquakes,[12] avalanches,[12] tidal waves,[12] and Darkstalker's magic.[event 1] It was briefly inhabited by Darkstalker and some NightWings in Talons of Power and Darkness of Dragons but was later re-abandoned. In the modern period, it is full of ruined and unstable structures, including an abandoned theater.[13] Constructed around the ruins of the old city is Renewal, a settlement led by Fierceteeth.[14]

Kingdom of Sand

The Kingdom of Sand makes up the "chest" or southwestern portion of Pyrrhia. It is characterized by its vast,[15] scorching[16] desert landscape and rolling dunes.[17] The terrain is flat[18] and adorned with numerous oases[19] and oasis towns.[20][21] The desert is also home to the Great Five-Tail River, which historically was a highly disputed territory between the SandWings and SkyWings.[22] The dragon settlement of Possibility is located along the river.

Kingdom of the Sea

The Kingdom of the Sea forms the "tail" of Pyrrhia. It is primarily made up of small islands, forming the archipelago known as the Bay of a Thousand Scales. It is characterized by vast stretches of ocean,[23] featuring landforms such as white beaches,[24] coral reefs,[25] and kelp forests.[26]

Mud Kingdom

The Mud Kingdom makes up the "back" of Pyrrhia. Its terrain primarily consists of a vast, marshy wetland,[27] with stretches of grassland[28] scattered with trees.[29] Along the Mud Kingdom's northern border is the Diamond Spray River, which feeds into the Diamond Spray Delta.

Rainforest Kingdom

The Rainforest Kingdom forms the "hind leg" or southeastern section of Pyrrhia. It is characterized by its giant trees,[30] vibrant flowers,[31] tangles of vines,[30] and thick canopies of leaves.[30] After the NightWing Exodus, the NightWing village was constructed within the kingdom to serve as the NightWing tribe's new home.[32]

Sky Kingdom

The Sky Kingdom forms the "wing" of Pyrrhia. It is characterized by cliffs,[33] mountains,[34] rivers,[34] lakes,[35] forests,[34] and valleys.[36] The mountains, most notably the Claws of the Clouds Mountains, are often shrouded in mist.[37] It is separated from the Mud Kingdom by the Winding Tail River. The dragon settlement of Sanctuary is located within the Sky Kingdom, in the foothills of the Claws of the Clouds Mountains.[38] Numerous human settlements are located in the Sky Kingdom, including the Indestructible City and Talisman.

Other tribes

BeetleWings and LeafWings used to live on Pyrrhia before escaping to Pantala due to an unknown trouble.[39]
