Plot
The setup of A Guide to the Dragon World is more like a field guide than a novel, organized by tribe.
Opening Letter
The book opened with a letter by the dragonets of destiny stating their project to gather information from Pyrrhia and Pantala to create a more comprehensive guide to the dragon world, including commentary from Sunny, Fatespeaker, and Glory in the margins.
The Legend of the Scorching
The Legend of the Scorching is told through the dragon perspective of the events shown in the mindspace scenes of the Scorching from The Flames of Hope.
Chapter 1: MudWings
Starflight opened the MudWing section with a note about the scrolls in the academy library and Sepia before he presented the academy's copy of Wisemind's The Sluglike Qualities of the MudWings with Sepia's commentary in the margins. He then assigned Sepia the task of writing her own scroll about MudWing siblings which is then published in the guide as A Few of the Many Noble Qualities of MudWings.
A letter from Fatespeaker to Starflight is featured in the guide explaining how she had been sent on a journey to the MudWing palace to gather scrolls about MudWing culture and history.
The most ancient scroll in the MudWing palace library, the Mysterious Egg by Moccasin, was then featured in the guide. It recounted Moccasin's mysterious blood-red egg and how she discovered that dragonets from blood-red eggs have fireproof scales.
A scroll about the MudWing Succession Crisis titled But Who Shall Wear the Crown? by Prince Sawgrass is then featured. The scroll recounted Sawgrass and his sibling's hatching and how they were raised in the MudWing palace as royals.
