The dragon world of Pyrrhia has been locked in a war for close to twenty years over the queen of the SandWings. The war has resulted in many battles, therefore many dragons have been killed. See below for a detailed list of all battles and meaningful events that have occured as a result of the war.


The Death of Queen Oasis

The entire war began when Queen Oasis, the current queen of the SandWings was assassinated by a scavenger, which then stole her treasure. At the time there were three heirs to the throne, Burn, Blister, and Blaze, daughters of Queen Oasis. Burn immediately seized the SandWing palace as her own, with it being renamed Burn's Stronghold. Some say that Burn chased off her sisters, Blister and Blaze, but others say that the latter two knew that Burn could kill them, and fled willingly.

Forming of Alliances

All three sisters knew that they needed alliances with the other dragon tribes in order to win the war. Burn allied herself with the SkyWings and MudWings. Blister formed a public alliance with the SeaWings, and a secret one with the NightWings. Queen Glacier of the IceWings has joined forces with Blaze, but her decision is most likely based on the fact that Blaze has offered to give up a large portion of her territory in exchange for an alliance. Blaze also has the support of many SandWings.

The Prophecy

In order to get a better home for their tribe, the NightWings hatched an elaborate plan. Queen Battlewinner and Morrowseer wrote a prophecy stating that five dragonets are to choose the successor to the SandWing throne. Once a queen was chosen, that queen would help take over the rainforest with the NightWings in gratitude for the dragonets choosing them. The five dragonets were supposed to be a SandWing, a SkyWing, a MudWing, a SeaWing, and a NightWing, all hatched on the Brightest Night.

The Eggs

On the night before the Brightest Night, the Talons of Peace put five dragons in charge of retrieving the Dragonets of Destiny's eggs. They were as follows: Kestrel, a SkyWing, Webs, a SeaWing, Dune, a SandWing, Asha, a MudWing, and Hvitur, an IceWing. Dune found Sunny's egg all alone in the Kingdom of Sand. Webs drugged the guards of the SeaWing Royal Hatchery in order to get Tsunami's egg. Asha paid her sister, Cattail, with cows so she would hand over her blood-red MudWing egg. Hvitur stole the SkyWing egg from the SkyWings, but was caught by Burn on the way out. Burn killed Hvitur and dropped the egg of a cliff, killing the dragonet inside it. Kestrel and Webs later found Hvitur's body and a few shards of the egg at the bottom of the cliff. Webs then went to the RainWings to get a fifth egg.
