Scorching

The Scorching was a period of time, in Pyrrhia, when the dragons overthrew the currently dominant life form, the scavengers.

Dragon tribes were formed based on abilities and habitats (sand, water, mud, etc). Each tribe chose a queen, thus allowing dragons to get help when they needed it (such as Osprey), making it extremely hard for a scavenger to kill even one dragon, which is mentioned several times in The Dragonet Prophecy. although a scavenger after the Scorching managed to kill Queen Oasis.

Little is known about the Scorching, but it was most likely a horrible time for scavengers.

Trivia

• Once, Clay accidentally called the Scorching "the Scalding".
• NightWings hate IceWings because of a war before the Scorching.
