Literature

Scrolls are the primary literature of Pyrrhia, written and read by almost all of the dragon tribes. They are printed with ink on an unknown variant of paper, likely vellum or parchment, as heavily hinted by Starflight in The Dark Secret. Sticks of graphite are also used to write, as seen in Darkstalker, but Coral and Whirlpool were seen to write by dipping their claws in squid ink and scratching on the paper. In Winter Turning, Moonwatcher uses a "long, thin reed" to draw the mountain she saw in Icicle's dream.

Tribes

MudWings - In The Dark Secret, Pheasant said she was reading about the Prophecy, hinting that MudWings sometimes read scrolls; this is also shown in Moon Rising when Sora is reading in the school library. In The Brightest Night, Moorhen mentions how she has read Queen Coral's scrolls before, giving more evidence of literacy in MudWings.

SandWings - Thorn of the Outclaws has been shown writing Wanted posters,^{[citation needed]} and these are likely scrolls or made from the same material as scrolls since it seems the only papers used are scrolls. Also, Smolder intercepts messages written on scrolls, and it can be assumed that most SandWings read scrolls. In The Brightest Night, Sunny, Queen Thorn, and Smolder also went into a letter room with scrolls.

SkyWings - Peril lied to Scarlet about reading about the Champion's Shield in a scroll, and Queen Scarlet replied, saying, "with claws that burn through paper right when you touch it." They also use scrolls for messaging.^{[citation needed]}

SeaWings - The SeaWings read scrolls, most of which are written by Coral. Some of her work includes The Missing Princess, The Tragedy of Orca, The Claws of Murder, A Tail of Blood, and many other stories, all of which are taught in SeaWing schools. The scrolls are written with a mixture of squid ink and a little whale blood, created by Whirlpool, to make the words permanent.

RainWings - RainWings didn't read scrolls and never knew about them or the rest of Pyrrhia until Glory claimed the RainWing throne.^{[citation needed]} In The Dark Secret, Sunny was teaching a dragonet class how to read, and in Winter Turning, Kinkajou went to a nearby school to get some paper and a blank scroll for Moonwatcher to draw and record what she saw in Icicle's dream.^{[citation needed]}

IceWings - Winter explains in Winter Turning that his mother made him memorize stories of dragons attempting the Diamond Trial, revealing that IceWings can read.^{[citation needed]} He also mentions IceWing sagas that "told the history of the world."^{[citation needed]}

NightWings - The NightWings read and wrote many scrolls, and both Starflight and Mastermind have always been fascinated by them. There used to be an extensive library in both the Night Kingdom and the lost city of night.^{[citation needed]}
