The sounds of howling, buzzing, and a waterfall can be heard in some areas.[1] There are many strange smells, as well as heat that is damp and sticky. There are giant spiderwebs everywhere,[2] as well as at least one river with oozing black mud, reeds, and a huge boulder along its banks.[3] There is a damp layer of leaves[4] and bracken[5] on the forest floor, where it is cool and muddy.[6]

RainWing Village

The rainforest is populated with hundreds of RainWings. They live in a village full of treehouses, fruits, platforms, hammocks, and trees. The roofs of the houses are made of leaves, making it harder to see the houses while flying and looking down. The village is made up of treehouses, connected by vine walkways. The village has three hatcheries, each hatchery holding a third of the village's eggs. Each hatchery has a tightly woven floor and is shaped like a large green egg. The RainWings mix their eggs and raise them as a village, making it unknown who is related to who unless they do a venom test. However, Glory promises to make sure that RainWings know who their kin are.

There is a large treehouse that houses the queen, who until the end of The Hidden Kingdom takes turns with other queens each month. (Dazzling, Fruit Bat, Grandeur, Magnificent, Exquisite, and Splendor were the queens.) There is also a Royal Garden which Tamarin, one of the gardeners, takes care of.

Many platforms and hammocks are between trees for the RainWings' sun-time. The healer's hut, which is close to the sunning platforms, is described to have red berries growing on the balcony, with skylights shining through its leafy roofs. Their houses are made in the trees with leaves as windows and the trees as a natural wall.

At the center of the village is a structure called the Arboretum (which resembles a non-violent version of the SkyWing arena), a huge platform made from woven branches and surrounded by more treehouses, some of which have been set up as fruit stands. It seems to be a meeting place for the RainWings and where many public events take place, such as the competition between Glory and the existing queens for the throne.

Royal Pavilion

The Royal Pavilion is a structure that is built halfway between the NightWing and RainWing villages. It is used for settling disputes and making special announcements to both the NightWings and RainWings, as well as greeting visitors to the Rainforest Kingdom, such as Winter and Qibli inWinter Turning.

The pavilion is built on the branches of a large circle of trees. It rests midway between the forest floor, where the NightWing village is, and the jungle canopy, where the RainWings reside. Glory stated this was to symbolize she is the queen of the NightWings and RainWings. Its roof is made of the same large translucent leaves that are also used as windows in the Jade Mountain Academy library. The center of the pavilion is ornamented by a small dais for Glory, raised only a few inches above the ground, that serves as a throne there. Instead of jewels or treasure as decoration, there are flowers such as morning glories and orchids.

Healer's Pavilion

The Healer's Pavilion is large, and located near the RainWing Village. It is quiet and sunlit, with curtains of green vines shielding the interior from onlookers.[22] The curtains shield each patient from view, and there are rafters as well as piles of medicinal leaves occupying the pavilion.[9]

At night, the pavilion is dimly lit by a few beams of moonlight and several jars hanging from the ceiling that appear to contain fireflies. Bullfrog, one of the RainWing healers, has a hammock set up next to one patient's bed.[10]

There is one curtained-off corner of the pavilion with the only window open to the sky.[12]

NightWing Village

The NightWing Village is occupied by most of the NightWing tribe living in the rainforest. Wingbeats, branches being ripped off trees, and hammering can be heard near the village, as well as the smell of meat cooking over a fire. At the entrance of the village, two NightWings stand guard on either side of a pathway that has been cleared through the trees.[23]

When Winter visited the village, there were NightWings grappling with vines, bushes, and trees to try and expand the open space. Others were washing fruit in a nearby river, which is close to a set of cooking fires built close to the ground. Ramshackle huts dot the clearing with roofs of giant palm leaves. It is cool and muddy on the rainforest floor.[6]
