== RainWing Village ==
== History ==
The rainforest is populated with hundreds of RainWings. They live in a village full of treehouses, fruits, platforms, hammocks, and trees. The roofs of the houses are made of leaves, making it harder to see the houses while flying and looking down. The village is made up of treehouses, connected by vine walkways. The village has three hatcheries, each hatchery holding a third of the village's eggs. Each hatchery has a tightly woven floor and is shaped like a large green [[Dragons|egg]]. The RainWings mix their eggs and raise them as a village, making it unknown who is related to who unless they do a venom test. However, [[Glory]] promises to make sure that RainWings know who their kin are.
=== The Dragonet Prophecy ===
==== ''[[The Hidden Kingdom (book)|The Hidden Kingdom]]'' ====
The Rainforest Kingdom was the main setting of the book, where the [[dragonets of destiny]] sought safety after escaping the prison in the [[Summer Palace]].


There is a large treehouse that houses the queen, who until the end of ''[[The Hidden Kingdom (book)|The Hidden Kingdom]]'' takes turns with other queens each month. ([[Dazzling]], [[Fruit Bat]], [[Grandeur]], [[Magnificent]], [[Exquisite]], and [[Splendor]] were the queens.) There is also a Royal Garden which [[Tamarin]], one of the gardeners, takes care of.
==== ''[[The Dark Secret (book)|The Dark Secret]]'' ====
After [[Starflight]], [[Fatespeaker]], and [[Flame]]'s attempt to escape the [[NightWing island]], Starflight and the others were brought safely inside the Rainforest Kingdom. The NightWings was soon evacuated into when the volcano finally exploded, an event which led to the [[NightWing Exodus]] near the end of the book.


Many platforms and hammocks are between trees for the RainWings' sun-time. The healer's hut, which is close to the sunning platforms, is described to have red berries growing on the balcony, with skylights shining through its leafy roofs. Their houses are made in the trees with leaves as windows and the trees as a natural wall.
==== ''[[The Brightest Night (book)|The Brightest Night]]'' ====
The Rainforest Kingdom served as the main place where the dragonets of destiny met to discuss important subjects on how to end the [[War of SandWing Succession|war]] and home to the NightWings. It was also the place where [[Sunny]] was kidnapped by [[Fierceteeth]], [[Strongwings]], and [[Preyhunter]].
----
=== The Jade Mountain Prophecy ===
==== ''[[Moon Rising (book)|Moon Rising]]'' ====
In the prologue, [[Secretkeeper]] visited the Rainforest Kingdom and witnessed [[Moonwatcher]] hatching. The kingdom was mentioned throughout the book.  


At the center of the village is a structure called the Arboretum (which resembles a non-violent version of the [[SkyWing palace|SkyWing arena]]), a huge platform made from woven branches and surrounded by more treehouses, some of which have been set up as fruit stands. It seems to be a meeting place for the RainWings and where many public events take place, such as the [[Dragon royalty#RainWing Royal Challenge|competition]] between [[Glory]] and the existing queens for the throne.
==== ''[[Winter Turning (book)|Winter Turning]]'' ====
The Rainforest Kingdom was the main setting of the book, where Winter, [[Qibli]], Moon, and [[Kinkajou]] searched for answers on [[Hailstorm]] and [[Scarlet]]'s whereabouts. They planned to protect Queen Glory from a possible assassin, [[Icicle]].


== Royal Pavilion ==
==== ''[[Talons of Power (book)|Talons of Power]]'' ====
The Royal Pavilion is a structure that is built halfway between the [[NightWing]] and [[RainWing]] villages. It is used for settling disputes and making special announcements to both the NightWings and RainWings, as well as greeting visitors to the Rainforest Kingdom, such as [[Winter]] and [[Qibli]] in''[[Winter Turning]]''.
[[Turtle]] followed [[Darkstalker (L1)|Darkstalker]] to the kingdom and also visited Kinkajou, who was recovering at the time. After awhile, Darkstalker took most of the NightWings to the [[lost city of night]].


The pavilion is built on the branches of a large circle of trees. It rests midway between the forest floor, where the NightWing village is, and the jungle canopy, where the RainWings reside. [[Glory]] stated this was to symbolize she is the [[queen]] of the [[NightWings]] and [[RainWings]]. Its roof is made of the same large translucent leaves that are also used as windows in the [[Jade Mountain Academy]] library. The center of the pavilion is ornamented by a small dais for Glory, raised only a few inches above the ground, that serves as a throne there. Instead of jewels or treasure as decoration, there are flowers such as morning glories and orchids.
==== ''[[Darkness of Dragons]]'' ====
In the epilogue, Moon visited the NightWing village to visit Secretkeeper, [[Hope]], and [[Peacemaker]].
----
=== Winglets ===
==== ''[[Prisoners]]'' ====
Fierceteeth shared how, after sneaking through the [[NightWing tunnels|Rainforest tunnel]] with Strongwings, she was ecstatic about the idea of escaping the island by moving to the rainforest. When they returned to the NightWing island, the two were barred from returning to the rainforest by [[Morrowseer]]; they would be allowed to go back once it was taken over by the NightWings. She then explained to [[Saguaro]] how the NightWings could have ensured [[Burn]] as the [[queen]] of the [[SandWings]] if the SandWings had helped her replace Glory as the queen of the Rainforest Kingdom.
----
=== Field Guides ===
==== ''[[A Guide to the Dragon World]]'' ====
The Rainforest Kingdom was mentioned several times in the RainWing chapter of the guide. It served as the setting of Kinkajou's short story about [[Silver]] and was described in ''[[literature#Named scrolls|Dangers of the Rainforest]]''. It was also mentioned by [[Handsome]] in his description of the [[Dragon royalty#RainWing Royal Challenge|RainWing royal challenge]], and by [[Python]] in her letter to [[Jacaranda]].


== Healer's Hut ==
In the [[IceWing]] chapter, the Rainforest Kingdom was briefly mentioned to be the source of melons used to flavor shaved ice.
This is where injured dragons are brought. [[Starflight]] stayed here for an extended period following the events of ''[[The Dark Secret (book)|The Dark Secret]]'', and this is also where [[Turtle]] and [[Anemone]] cast spells on [[Kinkajou]] that protected her from [[Darkstalker]], healed her, woke her up, and made her fall in love with [[Turtle]] (the last spell was courtesy of [[Anemone]]).


== NightWing Village ==
== Trivia ==  
This is the section of the Rainforest where the NightWings have lived ever since their [[NightWing island|volcano]] erupted and the NightWing Exodus occurred. It is the closest part to the [[NightWing tunnels]] and has thinner trees. The NightWings have built huts out of leaves and twigs. The RainWings offered to help, but the NightWings, wanting to keep the dignity they had left, refused the offer. Because of this, the NightWing huts are poorly built and tend to leak or collapse frequently. The NightWing village is also very close to the ground and mentioned by [[Winter]] to be very muddy. However, during the epilogue of ''[[Darkness of Dragons]]'', [[Mightyclaws]] uses the power given to him by [[Darkstalker]] to help create homes for the NightWings.

* Throughout history, many of the other tribes besides the RainWings desired to have the rainforest.{{Ref|AGttDW|73}} Specifically, the [[SkyWings]] and [[MudWings]] would have skirmishes with the RainWings over territory.{{Ref|AGttDW|82}}

The Rainforest Kingdom is a vast jungle that covers most of the southeastern part of Pyrrhia. It is occupied by the RainWings and most of the NightWings, and is currently ruled by Queen Glory.

Description

The Rainforest Kingdom is wild and noisy;[1] it is a wild assault of greenery[2] and leaves,[3] consisting of many colorful birds, tall,[4] whispering trees, exuberant flowers,[5] tangles of vines, and a thick canopy of green leaves overhead. The sounds of howling, buzzing, and a waterfall can be heard in some areas.[6] There are many strange smells, as well as heat that is damp and sticky. There are giant spiderwebs everywhere,[7] and at least one river with oozing black mud, reeds, and a huge boulder along its banks.[8] A damp layer of leaves[9] and bracken[10] covers the forest floor, where it is cool and muddy.[11] Quicksand exists in some areas of the rainforest,[12] and the canopies are sunlit emerald-green and whirring with the whispers of tiny wings.[13] The ground is made up of dirt, tree debris, and tangled roots.

During the daytime, warm bursts of sunlight nudges through the leafy canopies.[14] At nighttime, the rainforest is filled with a cacophony of noises from birds, frogs, insects,[15] burps, gurgles, and rustling.[16] The air smells like jasmine,[17] mangoes, moss, river rocks,[18] the color green, mammals, bananas, and birds. The air is warm and buzzing, and the sunlight through the leaves is gentle and peaceful.[19] The trees are often wet from rainfall.[4]

Notable features

Banyan Tree

The Rainforest Kingdom includes a particularly large banyan tree, located a short flight away from the royal pavilion. It is an enormous, fat tree with bulging branches and knobby roots sticking out from the undergrowth.[20] Its roots, some as fat around as a dragon, extend far, all the way to a wall of bushes where the forest floor begins sloping up.[10]

History

The Dragonet Prophecy

The Hidden Kingdom

The Rainforest Kingdom was the main setting of the book, where the dragonets of destiny sought safety after escaping the prison in the Summer Palace.

The Dark Secret

After Starflight, Fatespeaker, and Flame's attempt to escape the NightWing island, Starflight and the others were brought safely inside the Rainforest Kingdom. The NightWings was soon evacuated into when the volcano finally exploded, an event which led to the NightWing Exodus near the end of the book.

The Brightest Night

The Rainforest Kingdom served as the main place where the dragonets of destiny met to discuss important subjects on how to end the war and home to the NightWings. It was also the place where Sunny was kidnapped by Fierceteeth, Strongwings, and Preyhunter.

The Jade Mountain Prophecy

Moon Rising

In the prologue, Secretkeeper visited the Rainforest Kingdom and witnessed Moonwatcher hatching. The kingdom was mentioned throughout the book.

Winter Turning

The Rainforest Kingdom was the main setting of the book, where Winter, Qibli, Moon, and Kinkajou searched for answers on Hailstorm and Scarlet's whereabouts. They planned to protect Queen Glory from a possible assassin, Icicle.

Talons of Power

Turtle followed Darkstalker to the kingdom and also visited Kinkajou, who was recovering at the time. After awhile, Darkstalker took most of the NightWings to the lost city of night.

Darkness of Dragons

In the epilogue, Moon visited the NightWing village to visit Secretkeeper, Hope, and Peacemaker.

Winglets

Prisoners

Fierceteeth shared how, after sneaking through the Rainforest tunnel with Strongwings, she was ecstatic about the idea of escaping the island by moving to the rainforest. When they returned to the NightWing island, the two were barred from returning to the rainforest by Morrowseer; they would be allowed to go back once it was taken over by the NightWings. She then explained to Saguaro how the NightWings could have ensured Burn as the queen of the SandWings if the SandWings had helped her replace Glory as the queen of the Rainforest Kingdom.

Field Guides

A Guide to the Dragon World

The Rainforest Kingdom was mentioned several times in the RainWing chapter of the guide. It served as the setting of Kinkajou's short story about Silver and was described in Dangers of the Rainforest. It was also mentioned by Handsome in his description of the RainWing royal challenge, and by Python in her letter to Jacaranda.

In the IceWing chapter, the Rainforest Kingdom was briefly mentioned to be the source of melons used to flavor shaved ice.

Trivia

  • The Rainforest Kingdom is one of the safest places in Pyrrhia.[event 1]
  • Throughout history, many of the other tribes besides the RainWings desired to have the rainforest.[74] Specifically, the SkyWings and MudWings would have skirmishes with the RainWings over territory.[75]
