The Kingdom of Sand on the map of Pyrrhia

The Kingdom of Sand is the second largest Kingdom in Pyrrhia and is home to the SandWings, a desert-dwelling dragon tribe. It occupies the southwestern portion of the continent, stretching from the Claws of the Clouds Mountains of the Sky Kingdom to the edge of the Ice Kingdom and the previous NightWing Kingdom and the bordering parts of the ocean. Pantala can be found to the west of the Kingdom of Sand.

Description

The Kingdom of Sand

The Kingdom of Sand is mostly sandy desert, with frequent rocky outcroppings, as shown on the cover of The Brightest Night. Water is rare, and thus, towns cluster around oases and rivers, including the Five-tail River. Where it borders with the Ice Kingdom, it turns into rocky tundra.

The Scorpion Den is in the far south, with an oasis in the center, where Dune stole Sunny's egg. Burn's Stronghold is in the middle of the Kingdom of Sand and used to be the SandWing palace, but Burn took it over when she was attempting to claim the SandWing throne. The stronghold is now controlled by Queen Thorn.

The Kingdom of Sand is full of brightsting cactus, the only known antidote to SandWing poison, and has almost all of it in the Scorpion Den.

The prey in the Kingdom of Sand consists of lizards, coyotes, camels, and scavengers.

Queen Thorn's Stronghold

Queen Thorn's Stronghold is used as a palace for the SandWing tribe. SandWing royalty live in the Stronghold. Instead of looking pretty, though, the Stronghold is designed to be less vulnerable to attack. This makes it one of the hardest places to destroy in Pyrrhia. The Stronghold used to look more menacing, with enemy heads on spikes and Burn's weirdling tower, but when Queen Thorn took over, she removed those features

Scorpion Den

The Scorpion Den is a famous city in the Kingdom of Sand. It is inhabited by lowlife SandWings and SandWing hybrids. The Scorpion Den is known to be full of assassins, thieves, con artists, and more, making it a dangerous place to live.

History

Darkstalker (Legends)

Queen Scorpion allowed the NightWings and IceWings to battle there, in return for large piles of treasure from both tribes.

The Hidden Kingdom

Glory found an animus-touched tunnel in the Rainforest Kingdom that leads to the Kingdom of Sand. She described the desert as "always hot and clear with no rainy days". The tunnel is hidden by sand right outside of Burn's Stronghold, and the wind blows sand to cover it up every single day, which is why Burn had not discovered the tunnel entrance. The NightWings had wanted the tunnel there so that when Blister became queen, she could help them seize the rainforest.

The Brightest Night

The Kingdom of Sand is the main setting of The Brightest Night, where Sunny meets Thorn and her Outclaws in the Scorpion Den, Smolder in Burn's Stronghold, and where the next SandWing queen is chosen (Burn's Stronghold).

Trivia

• The Brightest Night's book cover depicts the Kingdom of Sand.
• If Blaze had won the war, the Kingdom would be smaller, as the IceWings would now own the northern part; as Blaze promised them that piece of land if they won the war.
