Burn's Stronghold was the base of her army in the Great War and was known as the SandWing palace before the war began. Although it's located in the Kingdom of Sand, few SandWings live in it, as most of the SandWing soldiers are with Blaze in the Ice Kingdom. It most likely became Queen Thorn's palace after the war.

History

The stronghold was originally Queen Oasis' palace. When she was attacked and killed by three scavengers, her three daughters began to argue about who would inherit the SandWing throne. Burn either (depending on the source of information) drove out Blister and Blaze and seized it for herself, or the other two sisters fled before she could kill them and take the throne for herself. She has added many things to the palace to scare off intruders, including the mounted heads of decapitated prisoners and her weirdling collection.

Appearance

When Burn seized the palace, she added thick walls for extra defense and stationed SandWing soldiers as guards. The foul stench from the decapiataed dragons discouraged enemies from attacking.

There is a portal connecting to the Rainforest Kingdom about a mile away, occasionally covered by blowing sand.

The stronghold also contains a courtyard and a great hall decorated with statues from when it was the noble palace of the SandWings. A monument to Queen Oasis was built where she died, and Burn had the walls of the stronghold extended to surround it.
