The Kingdom of Sand is the largest kingdom in Pyrrhia and home of the SandWings. It occupies the southwestern part of the continent, stretching from the mountains of the Sky Kingdom to the edge of the Ice Kingdom and the bordering ocean.

History

The Hidden Kingdom

Glory found a tunnel in the Rainforest Kingdom that leads to the Kingdom of Sand. She described the desert as  "always hot and clear with no rainy days." The tunnel is hidden by sand right outside of Burn's Stronghold, and the wind blows sand to cover it up everyday, which is why Burn had not discovered the tunnel entrance.

The Brightest Night

The Kingdom of Sand is the main setting of The Brightest Night, and is where Sunny meets the Outclaws in the Scorpion Den, Smolder in Burn's Stronghold, and is where the next SandWing queen is chosen.

Geography

Map of Pyrrhia

The Kingdom of Sand is filled with dunes that are constantly shifting. The Scorpion Den is in the far south, where Dune stole Sunny's egg. Burn's Stronghold used to be the SandWing palace, but Burn took it over when she was attempting to claim the SandWing throne. The heads of decapitated dragons are mounted on the walls, and the decaying stench can be smelled from miles away.

Far to the north, where the kingdom connects to the Ice Kingdom, the land changes to barren tundra.

The Kingdom of Sand is full of cacti that can heal a SandWing's poison.

Trivia

• The Brightest Night's book cover depicts a sandy background, revealing that the main setting is the Kingdom of Sand.
