The SandWing Treasure was stolen by Blister and three scavengers right after Queen Oasis' death about twenty years before the events in the series. Known artifacts include the Lazulite Dragon, the Eye of Onyx, the SandWing Scepter, and one of the three existing dreamvisitors.
The treasure was one of the main reasons why the dragon tribes were fighting in the war; the SandWing queen being the other reason. The Eye of Onyx was the most sought after, as whoever held it became the SandWing queen. The IceWings spent a lot of their time searching and destroying scavenger dens; thus it can be concluded that finding the stolen treasure was a priority to Queen Glacier.
It is unknown if the treasure was returned to the SandWing treasury after Blister's death in The Brightest Night. The Eye of Onyx was hidden in Queen Oasis' skull by Smolder's pet scavenger, Flower, since it seemed too dangerous to keep around. Two scavengers, Holler and Fluffy, had the Lazulite Dragon and the dreamvistor, which was returned to Sunny.
The Brightest Night
The Eye of Onyx
The Eye of Onyx is a black sphere, an enchanted piece of SandWing treasure, with wings made from molded, beaten gold, and set on a chain of hammered gold links. It was most likely made from onyx.
Whoever holds the Eye of Onyx rules the desert and the SandWings. Therefore, if any of the SandWing sisters had it, they would become queen, suggesting that the Eye of Onyx was hidden away. It was revealed in The Brightest Night that Flower, Smolder's pet scavenger, had stolen the treasure after Queen Oasis was slain. Fearing she may have been caught with it, she placed it in Oasis' mouth, and they were both buried at Burn's Stronghold. This may be why the war had dragged on for so long, as the Eye had not been found, "like Queen Oasis was still hanging on to it," as described by Glory.
Sunny claimed that the reflection of the nearby torchlight on the wings must have been the "wings of fire".
Flower had gotten Sunny's attention and managed to get her, Glory, Tsunami, and Thorn to dig it, and two bags of treasure, out from Queen Oasis's grave from her skull. When Thorn held it, the treasure gave off a tiny jolt of purple lightning, as if it had accepted Thorn as the new queen.
Blister snatched the Eye of Onyx out of Thorn's talons, and on contact, orange sparks flew off of the stone. Lightning flew up Blister's body, and she exploded into a pile of black dust. When Thorn retrieved it, it "calmed down" by a couple of dark purple lines running across it, then disappearing. Thorn then remarks that she now understood why Queen Oasis hadn't worn it all the time.
The Lazulite Dragon
Fluffy gave the Lazulite Dragon to Sunny as part of an exchange for the safety of his friend, Holler. It is a large, carved dragon made of lazulite, with emeralds for eyes. It is possible that the object is animus touched, but it is unknown what the enchantment is, or if there is one at all.
The SandWing Scepter
The SandWing Scepter was mentioned only briefly by Starflight, when he started lecturing the dragonets about the SandWings' treasure, and by Sunny when she was trying to guess what the scavengers had stolen.
It is unknown if the SandWing Scepter is simply a decorative object, if it has a purpose, or if it has an animus enchantment.
