'''Pantala''', also known as the '''lost continent''' by the [[dragons]] of [[Pyrrhia]], is one of the two known continents in the ''[[Wings of Fire (book series)|Wings of Fire]]'' series, the other being Pyrrhia. It takes several days of traveling from the west of Pyrrhia to get there. Its existence was hinted at occasionally, before being confirmed at the end of ''[[Darkness of Dragons]]''. The Pantalan dragon tribes consist of the [[SilkWings]], [[HiveWings]], [[LeafWings]], and the now-extinct [[BeetleWings]].

== Description ==
Pantala is a dragon-shaped continent that was formerly covered with forests,{{Ref|Event|https://www.reddit.com/r/WingsOfFire/comments/jj7pi5/im_tui_t_sutherland_author_of_the_wings_of_fire/gaays41/}} but after the [[Tree Wars]], now primarily consists of grasslands and savannas. Watering holes and rivers, which are often dry, are scattered throughout the continent.{{Ref|Event|https://www.deviantart.com/biohazardia/journal/Rochester-Book-Fest-The-Aftermath-Tui-Answers-819674249}} Pantala has a rainy season{{Ref|THQ|87}} and dry season, with moderate to hot temperatures.{{Ref|Event|https://glamoroussneaking.tumblr.com/post/188794130922/i-went-to-the-rochester-childrens-book-festival}} The continent is covered with tall grass{{Ref|TDGp}} and there are occasional sinkholes underfoot.{{Ref|TLC|133}}


'''Pantala''', also known as the Lost Continent, is a location multiple days flight (or swim) west of [[Pyrrhia]]. It was first mentioned in the second arc of the ''Wings of Fire'' series. At the Maynard book festival, [[Tui T. Sutherland|Tui]] revealed that the map of Pantala also looks like a [[Dragons|dragon]] and is facing Pyrrhia. Before, Pantala was thought to be too far away to fly to, but at the end of ''[[Darkness of Dragons]]'', it was revealed that [[Luna]] the [[SilkWings|SilkWing]] was blown to Pyrrhia, proving the theory to be wrong. It is mentioned that [[Clearsight]], as a young [[Dragonets|dragonet]], dreams about exploring and finding it. She found the continent after the betrayal of [[King Darkstalker|Darkstalker]]. The dragons from Pantala are based on insects (the [[BeetleWings]] and their descendants) and plants (the [[LeafWings]]). This is mentioned by [[Hope (Foeslayer)|Hope]] in ''Darkness of Dragons'','' ''and was confirmed by Tui. In the epilogue of ''Darkness of Dragons'', Hope showed [[Moonwatcher]] Pantala's possible position on the planet via am example, which showed it on the opposite side on the world compared to where Pyrrhia was. She also tells Moonwatcher to research "the Legend of the Hive." She says it might give her ideas about the Pantalan tribes, which also presented the idea of the Pantalan dragons living in Hives rather than Kingdoms or cities.
The most prominent landmarks of Pantala are the [[:Category:Hives|Hives]], which function as connected cities that house most of the continent's SilkWings and HiveWings. Other landmarks include [[Lake Scorpion]], Beetle Lake, [[Dragonfly Bay]], and the [[Poison Jungle]], which sits on the "head" of the continent. Within the Poison Jungle are the [[Snarling River]] and the [[Gullet River]], rivers which run through the "neck" and the "mouth" of the continent.


== Tribes ==
== Notable features ==
There are three tribes on Pantala. One is the HiveWings, who are currently ruled by [[Queen Wasp]]. The second is the SilkWings, who after the [[Tree Wars|Tree Wars ]] accepted the HiveWing queen as their [[Dragon Queens|queen]], so their queen is also Queen Wasp, but before the Tree Wars their queen was [[Ex-Queen Monarch|Queen Monarch]]. The third tribe is the -[[LeafWings]], who were nearly driven to extinction in the Tree Wars, and were believed to be extinct by the Pantalan dragons, though at least six are still known to be alive. As of ''[[The Lost Continent (Book)|The Lost Continent]]'', it is unknown if the LeafWings have a queen, but their former queen was [[Queen Sequoia]].
=== Beetle Lake ===
Beetle Lake is a large lake located on the "wing" of Pantala, in the western region.


== History ==
=== [[Dragonfly Bay]] ===
=== ''[[Darkstalker (Legends)]]'' ===
Dragonfly Bay is a bay located on the east coast of Pantala. During the reign of the first HiveWing [[queen]], a kraken was there for one rainy season.{{Ref|AGttDW|213}}
When Clearsight is at Darkstalker's house, she notices he has a [[Scrolls|scroll]] titled ''Myths of the Lost Continent''. Later, after betraying and imprisoning Darkstalker, Clearsight decides to go and find this lost continent. It is shown in Clearsight's visions to have animals she has never seen before and colorful dragons of unknown tribes, as well as a possibility of new love and dragonets. Tui confirmed that Clearsight flew there.


=== ''[[Darkness of Dragons]]'' ===
===[[Dragontail Peninsula]] ===
In the epilogue of ''Darkness of Dragons'', [[Qibli]] and Moonwatcher find the residence of [[Jerboa II]], daughter of the original [[Jerboa]], who was an [[Animus Dragons|animus]]. She shows them a dragon who she is taking care of, who turns out to be Luna. Qibli notices that she looks nothing like any dragon tribe he has seen before. He believes Luna is a [[Hybrids and Special Dragons|hybrid]] until he realizes that she has features lacking in any of the seven dragon tribes, including her four wings, bright metallic scales, and antennae horns. Jerboa states that this dragon is their first visitor from the Lost Continent.
Dragontail Peninsula is a peninsula on the southeast end, or the "tail", of Pantala. The peninsula has some trees on it.{{Ref|TFoH|295}}


===''[[The Lost Continent (Book)|The Lost Continent ]]''===
===[[Lake Scorpion]] ===
Pantala officially makes its debut in ''The Lost Continent'', as the main setting for the book. At the beginning of the book, there is a reference to Pantala's tribe and queen. In the prologue, Clearsight is seen flying towards the continent to warn its inhabitants about an incoming hurricane. The rest of the book takes place on Pantala, other than the epilogue, which takes place on Pyrrhia during the epilogue of ''Darkness of Dragons.''
Lake Scorpion is a large, scorpion-shaped lake located on the "tail" of Pantala, the southern region. It is considered the largest lake on Dragontail Peninsula.{{Ref|TFoH|256}} The SilkWings from [[Jewel Hive]], along with [[Jewel (THQ)|Lady Jewel]] and [[Scarab]] intended to flee to the lake.{{Ref|TDG|121}}


=== [[The Hive Queen|''The Hive Queen'']] ===
===[[Abyss|The abyss]] ===
Pantala is also the base setting of this book, except in the prologue and second part of the epilogue, which takes place on the western coast of Pyrrhia. The [[Poison Jungle]] is revealed to be the home of the last living LeafWings, and in the epilogue, it is also shown to be as dangerous as it was rumored to be, especially when [[Princess Tsunami|Tsunami]] and [[Prince Turtle|Turtle]] were almost killed by a giant snake. They were then rescued by a LeafWing named [[Willow]].
The [[abyss]] is a pit located underneath Lake Scorpion, which housed the othermind's brain. It was described as having something glowing and green within it, and as acting strangely "for the first time in years" ever since the [[othermind]] escaped the Poison Jungle. Whispers have been heard coming from it, reaching the upper caves of [[Raven]]'s [[Abyss village|village]].{{Ref|TDGe}} Inside the abyss there is a throne room, where the corpses of [[Freedom]] and [[Cottonmouth]] used to sit before they were defeated by [[Luna]].


===[[The Poison Jungle (Book)|''The Poison Jungle'']] ===
=== The Hives ===
''More flying in soon ...''
The nine Hives are cities{{Ref|TLC|3}}{{Ref|TPJ|211}} inhabited by HiveWings and SilkWings, with [[Wasp Hive]] being the largest and oldest.{{Ref|TLC|161}} The Hives are made out of a paper-thin material called treestuff, which is a particular mixture of wood pulp, clay, and silk that allows light to filter through while being as solid as rock.{{Ref|TLC|16-17}} The Hives are spread out in a wide circle across the continent, with silk bridges connecting them.{{Ref|TLC|3}} Each Hive was once ruled by one of [[Wasp]]'s female relatives, such as Lady Jewel and [[Lady Bloodworm]], before Wasp and all of her sisters were imprisoned.


== Pantala’s Known Wildlife ==
===[[Poison Jungle|The Poison Jungle]] ===
* Lions
The Poison Jungle was the last remaining forest on Pantala after the Tree Wars. It was said to be full of dangerous plants and wildlife, which was why the forest was left alone by the Queen Wasp and the HiveWings. Various dangerous plants were described to be in the jungle, such as sundews, venus dragon-traps, cobra lilies, waterwheels, and the quarantined othermind.{{Ref|THQ|283}} Further in the jungle are the homes of both LeafWing factions, the [[PoisonWings]] and the [[SapWings]]. The jungle was destroyed by the end of ''[[The Poison Jungle (book)|The Poison Jungle]]'' when the breath of evil manipulated [[Blue]] into burning it down with [[flamesilk]].
* Bats
 
* Bees
=== The sinkhole ===
The sinkhole is a pit located in the middle of the savanna, between the Hives. It was the place where Blue, [[Cricket]], and [[Swordtail]] hid from HiveWings during the day while traveling to Wasp Hive. A [[human]] settlement may have been located there as a human was spotted reading a book within the caves.

*Pantala is a genus of dragonfly, matching Pyrrhia being a genus of moth.
*There is no [[animus magic]] on Pantala, due to its extreme prevalence in the second arc.{{Ref|Event|https://wingsoffire.fandom.com/wiki/User_blog:Tinyscourge1/Brand_New_Information_for_WoF_Books_11-15!!!}}
*The arrival of Clearsight had a significant effect on the dragons that lived there. The two main things she impacted were the language (she reintroduced the Dragon Language to Pantala) and religion (most dragons worship the [[Book of Clearsight]] and pray to Clearsight's spirit). She married a SilkWing from Pantala named [[Sunstreak]].
*SilkWings and HiveWings that lived in the Hives were told that the peninsulas of Pantala were too dangerous for dragons,{{Ref|TLC|154}} but it may have been a lie to dissuade dragons from leaving the Hives and dwelling elsewhere in Pantala.
**This is the second instance of dragons being shown having a religion (the first is when it was shown in ''[[Escaping Peril]]'' that [[SkyWings]] believe in reincarnation) which is dragons believing in an afterlife (they pray to Clearsight even though she has been dead for two thousand years).
* The Hives are based on the Supertrees found in the nature park Gardens by the Bay in Singapore.{{Ref|Event|https://www.deviantart.com/biohazardia/journal/Rochester-Book-Fest-The-Aftermath-Tui-Answers-819674249}}
*It is shown in ''Darkstalker (Legends)'' that Pantala was known to dragons of Pyrrhia back then, but it appears that knowledge surrounding it has been lost over the centuries.
 
*Tui has confirmed that there is no animus magic on Pantala, due to its extreme prevalence in the second arc.

**This confirms the names of Queen Wasp's other sisters and that she has at least eight other sisters ([[Lady Vinegaroon|Vinegaroon]], [[Lady Bloodworm|Bloodworm]], [[Lady Mantis|Mantis]], Cicada, [[Lady Tsetse|Tsetse]], [[Lady Yellowjacket|Yellowjacket]], and [[Lady Hornet|Hornet]]). Of these, only Lady Jewel, Lady Cicada and Lady Bloodworm have been confirmed, with Lady Cicada shown in ''The Lost Continent, ''Lady Jewel appearing in ''The Hive Queen, ''and Lady Bloodworm confirmed in a statement by Tui, which can be found [https://wingsoffire.scholastic.com/forums/topics/329450 here].
*The currency in the Hives is called scales. These seem to be used as coins, as Luna uses them to pay for honey drops in The Lost Continent. It is unknown if they are real scales or simply called scales. From a discussion between Blue and Luna about how they haven't gone to a certain shop because they don't have enough scales, it seems that scales are the only form of currency and that all scales might be worth the same amount, as opposed to having them different values, similar to real currency.
*Pantala appears to be much more technologically advanced than Pyrrhia, with books instead of scrolls, glass, greenhouses, large-scale architectural projects, track schools similar to colleges, plumbing, and even playgrounds. In ''The Hive Queen'', it is mentioned that the dragons on Pantala make use of hydroponics, which is a type of hydroculture involving growing the plants in a solution made of water with minerals dissolved in it. Sometimes, gravel or mica rocks are used to support the plants.
**Pantala is the first continent in the series to have books instead of scrolls.
*The majority of Pantala is currently a police state.
*Pantala once had its own language, before Clearsight's arrival, the third dragon language shown in the series (after the language "Dragon" and [[Aquatic]], which is used by the [[SeaWings]]).
*Such as how North America and Pyrrhia are similar, Pantala is much like Africa.
*There is a place in Russia that has a place named Pantala in it, but it is not confirmed if Tui actually named Pantala after it.
*It's possible that unlike in the Pyrrhian kingdoms, Pantala's queens can be challenged by cousins, as [[Lady Scarab]] states that [[Lady Jewel]] , as [[Queen Wasp|Queen Wasp's]] cousin, can become queen in ''[[The Hive Queen]]'' .

Pantala, also known as the lost continent by the dragons of Pyrrhia, is one of the two known continents in the Wings of Fire series, the other being Pyrrhia. It takes several days of traveling from the west of Pyrrhia to get there. Its existence was hinted at occasionally, before being confirmed at the end of Darkness of Dragons. The Pantalan dragon tribes consist of the SilkWings, HiveWings, LeafWings, and the now-extinct BeetleWings.

Description

Pantala is a dragon-shaped continent that was formerly covered with forests,[event 1] but after the Tree Wars, now primarily consists of grasslands and savannas. Watering holes and rivers, which are often dry, are scattered throughout the continent.[event 2] Pantala has a rainy season[1] and dry season, with moderate to hot temperatures.[event 3] The continent is covered with tall grass[2] and there are occasional sinkholes underfoot.[3]

The most prominent landmarks of Pantala are the Hives, which function as connected cities that house most of the continent's SilkWings and HiveWings. Other landmarks include Lake Scorpion, Beetle Lake, Dragonfly Bay, and the Poison Jungle, which sits on the "head" of the continent. Within the Poison Jungle are the Snarling River and the Gullet River, rivers which run through the "neck" and the "mouth" of the continent.

Notable features

Beetle Lake

Beetle Lake is a large lake located on the "wing" of Pantala, in the western region.

Dragonfly Bay

Dragonfly Bay is a bay located on the east coast of Pantala. During the reign of the first HiveWing queen, a kraken was there for one rainy season.[4]

Dragontail Peninsula

Dragontail Peninsula is a peninsula on the southeast end, or the "tail", of Pantala. The peninsula has some trees on it.[5]

Lake Scorpion

Lake Scorpion is a large, scorpion-shaped lake located on the "tail" of Pantala, the southern region. It is considered the largest lake on Dragontail Peninsula.[6] The SilkWings from Jewel Hive, along with Lady Jewel and Scarab intended to flee to the lake.[7]

The abyss

The abyss is a pit located underneath Lake Scorpion, which housed the othermind's brain. It was described as having something glowing and green within it, and as acting strangely "for the first time in years" ever since the othermind escaped the Poison Jungle. Whispers have been heard coming from it, reaching the upper caves of Raven's village.[8] Inside the abyss there is a throne room, where the corpses of Freedom and Cottonmouth used to sit before they were defeated by Luna.

The Hives

The nine Hives are cities[9][10] inhabited by HiveWings and SilkWings, with Wasp Hive being the largest and oldest.[11] The Hives are made out of a paper-thin material called treestuff, which is a particular mixture of wood pulp, clay, and silk that allows light to filter through while being as solid as rock.[12] The Hives are spread out in a wide circle across the continent, with silk bridges connecting them.[9] Each Hive was once ruled by one of Wasp's female relatives, such as Lady Jewel and Lady Bloodworm, before Wasp and all of her sisters were imprisoned.

The Poison Jungle

The Poison Jungle was the last remaining forest on Pantala after the Tree Wars. It was said to be full of dangerous plants and wildlife, which was why the forest was left alone by the Queen Wasp and the HiveWings. Various dangerous plants were described to be in the jungle, such as sundews, venus dragon-traps, cobra lilies, waterwheels, and the quarantined othermind.[13] Further in the jungle are the homes of both LeafWing factions, the PoisonWings and the SapWings. The jungle was destroyed by the end of The Poison Jungle when the breath of evil manipulated Blue into burning it down with flamesilk.

The sinkhole

The sinkhole is a pit located in the middle of the savanna, between the Hives. It was the place where Blue, Cricket, and Swordtail hid from HiveWings during the day while traveling to Wasp Hive. A human settlement may have been located there as a human was spotted reading a book within the caves.

Trivia

  • There is no animus magic on Pantala, due to its extreme prevalence in the second arc.[event 4]
  • SilkWings and HiveWings that lived in the Hives were told that the peninsulas of Pantala were too dangerous for dragons,[132] but it may have been a lie to dissuade dragons from leaving the Hives and dwelling elsewhere in Pantala.
  • The Hives are based on the Supertrees found in the nature park Gardens by the Bay in Singapore.[event 5]
