Template:Infobox LocationHuman settlements refer to any location where humans reside, either currently or previously. They are also known as scavenger dens by dragons, and several Pyrrhian dragon maps include known human settlement locations.
These settlements, along with the humans themselves, often house the treasure that humans have stolen from dragons. IceWings, NightWings, and SandWings have been known to destroy the settlements out of spite or in search of the lost SandWing treasure. Some scavenger dens also have weaponry meant to repel dragons[1].
Major Settlements
Major human settlements include Valor, Talisman, and the Indestructible City.
There is a large, well-known human settlement near a bend in the river north of the Rainforest Kingdom and west of Queen Moorhen's lake. It is believed to be the biggest in Pyrrhia, and unlike most human settlements, it is not hidden away, and it is well-fortified with stone walls. Most dragons believe that hunting from this settlement is not worth it, as it is defended fiercely by its inhabitants.[2]
Minor Settlements
Safe Harbor
Safe Harbor is a location shown on the map of Dragonslayer. It appeared as a generic scavenger den on the map of Pyrrhia, and appeared in the epilogue of The Dark Secret. Safe Harbor is represented on the map as a large castle. It is "almost as big as the Indestructible City, and just as likely to shoot flaming things at dragons."
It was in close proximity to Blister's hideout, and was destroyed by Blister herself out of frustration after the attack on the Summer Palace in The Lost Heir.
Ruins of Valor
The ruins of Valor, also known as the scavenger ruins, are the are the remains of the old village of Valor, found on the border of the Kingdom of Sand and Jade Mountain. It first appeared in The Brightest Night.
Scavenger Temple
The Scavenger Temple is a hidden temple in the forest near Valor. It has two missing walls, with only weathered marble columns left to hold up the roof. It also has a window large enough for a human to leap through. Dragons that are flying, roaring, lounging on clouds, prowling through trees, and snarling at each other are carved all over the temple.
Trivia
- Starflight always believed scavenger dens were like meerkat warrens.
- There are no known or noted human settlements on Pantala, but there are humans.
