Template:Infobox Location The Kingdom of Sand is the home and territory of the SandWings, a desert-dwelling dragon tribe.

Description

The Kingdom of Sand is a vast,[1] endless[2], empty[3] expand of sandy desert. The kingdom is also large, wide, and flat.[4] There are many oasis towns,[3][5] as water is rare.

The Kingdom of Sand is full of brightsting cactus,[8] the only known antidote to SandWing poison, and has many of it sold by almost every merchant in the Scorpion Den.[9]

History

The Dragonet Prophecy

Glory found an animus-touched 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 every single day, which is why Burn had not discovered the tunnel entrance. The NightWings had wanted the tunnel there so that when Blister became queen, she could help them seize the rainforest.

The Kingdom of Sand was where Sunny met Thorn and her Outclaws in the Scorpion Den, Smolder in Burn's stronghold, and where the next SandWing queen was chosen.


The Jade Mountain Prophecy

When Qibli and Winter went to go and rescue Ostrich, they flew to both the Scorpion Den and Thorn's stronghold.


The Lost Continent Prophecy

In the epilogue, Snowfall met Jerboa III at the edge of the Kingdom of Sand, close to the border into IceWing territory.

Snowfall and the other Pantalans flew across the Kingdom of Sand to get to Sanctuary.


Legends

Scorpion allowed the NightWings and IceWings to battle there, in return for large piles of treasure from both tribes.

Trivia

  • If Blaze had won the war, the Kingdom would be smaller, as the IceWings would now own the disputed northern land; Blaze promised them that piece of land if they won the war.
