(The winglets are not to be confused with Winglets, which are short e-books in Wings of Fire.)
Jade Mountain Academy is an intertribal school located within Jade Mountain and was founded by the dragonets of destiny after the War of SandWing Succession. The school opened and accepted students from all tribes six months after the end of the war, dividing them into five winglets: the Jade Winglet, the Gold Winglet, the Silver Winglet, the Copper Winglet, and the Quartz Winglet, each of which includes one dragonet from each of the seven dragon tribes of Pyrrhia. With the exclusion of Peril, groups of two or three dragonets from the same winglet will share a sleeping cave, making them clawmates.
Description
The school is located within Jade Mountain, which has fang-shaped[1] twin peaks.[2] The entrance to the school was on a mountaintop.[3]
Notable Features
The Art Cave
The Art Cave is the room where students learn all sorts of art forms, including painting, pottery, glass-working, metalworking, weaving, and woodworking. The room was filled with art supplies tucked into every crevice and wooden dragon sculptures placed on little stone shelves.[4]
The Great Hall
The Great Hall is the unofficial entrance of Jade Mountain Academy. The cave has a dimmer light in comparison to that of outside,[5] with enough room to fit four hundred dragons inside comfortably and still have enough space for more to fly overhead. There is also sunlight pouring into the cave, with twisting stalactites that sometimes reached the floor, forming twisting columns. A huge bronze gong hangs against the back wall, with three flying dragons carved into its surface. When the school first opened, a huge banner made of woven green vines reading "Welcome, students!" in giant purple-and-white flowers hung from two stalactites. Two tunnel openings form along the cave's left wall, with two more on the right wall. Next to each entrance, a map is hung, displaying tunnel routes to help students find their way around the huge caves.[6]
Healing Center
First introduced in Darkness of Dragons, the Healing Center is where Clay teaches primary medicine and treatment. It contains a colored diagram of a dragon (MudWing), which shows where muscles are located in the body.
The History Cave
The history cave was where Webs taught history to the students of the academy. It was described to be covered in maps, each marked with a different year, and with stacks of scrolls that overflowed the wooden racks provided.[7] Sora's dragonflame cactus destroyed this cave in an attempt to kill Icicle during the events of Moon Rising, forcing the history class to be relocated to a different cave.
The Library
The entrance starts as a side corridor lined with hanging scrolls. Many of them have quotes such as "Knowledge is a flame in the darkness" and "The claws of war are no match for the wings of wisdom." At the end of the hall, a room full of iridescent green sunlight is present (the result of the sun shining through large semi-transparent leaves placed over windows, one of those windows was torn open by Icicle who escaped out of it in Moon Rising). Scrolls are arranged all over the cave, in cubbyholes on the walls, racks, and cylinders around the cave. Every corner had a spot to curl up and read in, sometimes a rock ledge, sometimes a pile of moss, sometimes a bed of reeds, and sometimes carpets. Sunlight comes down from skylights in the roof and filtered through leaves covering the windows.[8] There's a circular wooden desk labeled 'LIBRARIAN' in the center where Starflight manages the scrolls. Starflight has stamps of every student's name that he stamps on a scroll slot/card.[9]
Library stamps are part of the library system in Jade Mountain Academy. Every scroll in the place has a wooden stamp, which, if taken out, is stamped on the parchment corresponding to the borrowing student. When returned, their library stamps are stamped on the first one to show that the student returned it.[10]
| Library stamps |
|---|
|
Library cards have had a few important moments. For example, Moonwatcher considered hers her very first treasure, Darkstalker used Flame's library stamp to chain him after he tried to kill Stonemover, and Anemone enchanted Qibli's library card to stop the war between the IceWings and the NightWings. The library stamps are described as a small rectangle of wood, about as long as two claws, and with the student's name carved backward in raised letters on one side. Every student gets one when they visit the library at Jade Mountain Academy. Starflight keeps them behind his desk, and he hands them to students when they see him for the first time since arrival. |
The Music Cave
The Music Cave is a vast, round cave filled with various instruments, including harps, marimbas, maracas, and drums, with a skylight above it. It is designed so that sound bounces around the cave with smooth walls.[11] Students can enjoy playing music there.
The Prey Center
The Prey Center, set up by Clay, is a large cave open to the sky on one side (with this side covered by a wall of rocks to prevent the prey from escaping). It was often described as chaotic due to students and animals running around yelling, shouting, catching prey, or eating.[12] It is usually filled with animal prey with a pile of fish hunted by expeditions, and a pile of rainforest fruit for RainWing students.[13]
Stonemover's cave
This cave is where Stonemover is located. There is a torch flickering from a post near Stonemover's head.[14] Students are welcome to come and go through this cave as they please, but most students find the company too dull.[citation needed] The cave is shown to be big enough for Darkstalker to fit inside, but just barely.
"Weapons Cave"
First mentioned in Darkness of Dragons, the so-called Weapons Cave is where weapons were kept to defend the school. The room contains a locked wooden box that holds three daggers (two, after the events of Darkness of Dragons), one sword, and one club (or, as Qibli describes it, a "big stick").
History
The Dragonet Prophecy
The epilogue featured the founding of the school.
The Jade Mountain Prophecy
Jade Mountain Academy was the main setting of the book. During Moonwatcher's time at the school, she meets Darkstalker, who has been trapped under Agate Mountain for centuries. She also came across a murder mystery there and sought to find the dragon who caused an explosion in the history cave. By the end of the book, Moonwatcher and the rest of the Jade Winglet left the school to find Winter's brother.

After Darkstalker had been set free by Peril, Turtle went to warn Jade Mountain Academy and Anemone about him. Soon after, Darkstalker arrived and decided spend some time in the main entrance. During his time at the academy, he gave some NightWing students superpowers. Darkstalker eventually left the academy to find the NightWing tribe, to which Turtle followed him.
