History

The Dragonet Prophecy

The Dragonet Prophecy

Jade Mountain is the place Kestrel told the dragonets to go if they needed her near the end of the first book, The Dragonet Prophecy. A so-called "dragon of Jade Mountain" was mentioned, whose tribe and gender was unknown but was referred to as an ally of the Talons of Peace. This mysterious dragon was later revealed to be Stonemover.

The Brightest Night

It is confirmed in the book, by a lost letter Thorn had never received on time, that the mountain has some significant importance in the story. In the letter, the dragon of Jade Mountain is the NightWing, Stonemover, Sunny's father. He was found there inside, residing on the ground, unmoving, yet living. A fox called Dinner was delivering Stonemover's food for him. In the epilogue, Sunny and the other dragonets of destiny are shown standing on one of the 'fangs' of the mountain, talking.
