Pyrrhia
Pyrrhia is the setting for all of the Wings of Fire series. It is an island continent with highly varied geographical regions, listed as Sky Kingdom, Mud Kingdom, Kingdom of the Sea, Kingdom of Sand, Ice Kingdom, Rainforest Kingdom, and the Night Kingdom, which is located on an island north of Pyrrhia.
The mainland has the shape of a seated dragon with no horns. It is home to the seven dragon tribes. It also appears to be shaped like Canada and the United States of America.
Geography
There appears to be a large mountain range that runs roughly down the center of the entire continent, called the Claws of the Clouds Mountains, where the Dragonets of Destiny were born and raised. This divides the continent into eastern and western parts.
To the far west is desert, and to the northwest, icy wastes and glaciers. At the southeast corner, there is a lush and large jungle, bordered by swampland that is fed by the Diamond Spray River meeting the sea at Diamond Spray Delta. The northeast corner is full of mountains. At the extreme eastern side, a small chain of islands forms the "tail" of the "dragon," or the New England states of the U.S. This section is known as the Bay of A Thousand Scales. It is located in the Northern Hemisphere of the planet it is on.
Flora and Fauna
The flora of Pyrrhia resembles much of the Earth, according to the geographical regions. For example, in the Rainforest Kingdom, there are jungle plants that resemble those that grow in areas such as the Congo or Amazon.
The dominant life form on Pyrrhia are the dragons, of which there appear to be seven types. One step down from the dragons are the scavengers (humans), a bipedal, terrestrial hominid with some semblance of social structure and the ability to manufacture tools/weapons, which the dragons refer to as claws. They were once the rulers of Pyrrhia, until being overthrown by the dragons at The Scorching.
Many terrestrial animals, including those that are domesticated such as cows and pigs, also appear to inhabit the land, and serve as prey for the dominant life forms.
Tribes
There are seven dragon tribes to dwell the island continent: the MudWings, SandWings, IceWings, RainWings, SeaWings, SkyWings and NightWings. Each tribe has found a settlement in Pyrrhia that suits their needs. The NightWings may live in an area other than Pyrrhia. In The Hidden Kingdom, it was revealed that they live on an volcanic island.
Celestial Bodies
Pyrrhia has been shown, several times, that three moons orbit the planet. When all three of the moons are full, the dragons refer to it as "the brightest night", which only occurs once a century.
It is unknown if any of these moons have names or a background.
