SandWing stronghold

Burn's Stronghold was the base of Burn's army in The Great War. Although it's located in the Kingdom of Sand, few SandWings live in it, as most of the SandWing soldiers are with Blaze in the Ice Kingdom. It most likely became Queen Thorn's palace after the war.

History

The stronghold was originally Queen Oasis' palace. When she was attacked, and killed three Scavengers, the three SandWing princesses began to argue about who would inherit the throne. Burn either (depending on the source of information) drove out Blister and Blaze and seized it for herself, or the other two sisters fled before she could kill them and take the throne for herself. She has added many things to the palace to scare off intruders, including mounted heads of decapitated dragons (heads of prisoners or dragons who angered her) and her weirdling collection.

The stronghold also contains a courtyard and a great hall decorated with statues from when it was the noble palace of the SandWings. A monument to Queen Oasis was built where she died, and Burn had the walls of the stronghold extended to surround it.

Appearance

When Burn seized the palace, she added thick walls and turrets for extra defense. SandWing soldiers were stationed around it as guards and defense. She also mounted the cut-off, dried heads of any of her opponents and or captured dragons that disobeyed her on its outer walls to scare any incoming enemies. There is a portal connecting to the Rainforest Kingdom about a mile away, occasionally covered by blowing sand.
