#Pyrrhia

[korbywo]

in a Q/A with Tui, she stated that blood moons affect a nightwing's powers, allowing seers to see terrible events/disasters clearly and allowing mind readers to project their thoughts onto any dragon (not just other mind readers)

i thought this was a really cool detail, and i'm hoping that it's used in the books somewhere

here are two sisters born under a blood moon, one a mind reader and the other a seer. i imagine the mind reader uses telepathy to comfort her sister as she foresees troubling futures

[missingalo]

I am insane... But look, climate-accurate Pyrrhia, all because I hated the transition from the ice kingdom to the sand kingdom-

[schloofers]

Uhhhhhmmmm ocs 😼

[pinetreepilgrimage]

Some things in the Wings of fire series i wish were elaborated on more:

-The kraken mentioned in The Book of Clearsight

-history of animus SkyWings

-if the Night and LeafWing populations could genetically bottleneck in the future due to low numbers

-what BeetleWings looked like in detail, tbh I want to hear more about potential extinct tribes or what dragons looked like between the scorching and now

-Tui saying she avoids giving dragons spider based names because she had a potential tribe idea (i forgot where i heard this one so take it with salt)

-non royal Sea and IceWings

-who else might have used DarkStalker’s scroll over the 2000+ years it was lying around

-RainWing history, in general

-the runty SkyWing egg that was mentioned in the prologue of Escaping Peril on the brightest night that was never found

-the origin of NightWing powers (and animus powers, but that seems like too big a question to ask. The better question is about what will happen to it)

feel free to add more

Scorching Era Dragon Species

(Headcanon, until canon confirms or disputes)

🔴 Mountain Dragons

Based on dragons described in The Flames of Hope, pages 186-187.

The Mountain Dragons were the most common species of dragon on Pyrrhia. They inhabited the entirety of the central mountain range. Their scales tended towards warm colors like red and orange, but it was common to see other colors on them. Dragons at this time were far more likely to hybridize with other species as a result of their overlapping ranges and lack of formal society. They were one of only two species that possessed firebreath. Their diets consisted primarily of large ungulates, but they were opportunistic and would eat anything.

Mountain Dragons could be classified into two populations. The Northern Mountain Dragons were distinguished by their brighter colors and diurnal lifestyle. The Southern Mountain Dragons by contrast were darker, with more black scales as an adaptation for a more nocturnal or crepuscular lifestyle.

The Scorching was led by one large Northern Mountain Dragon (The Flames of Hope, page 186, see above image) who would become the first queen of the first dragon tribe, which would be known as the Skywings. Mountain Dragons made up the majority of the early Skywing tribe, but Forest Dragons were also common within their ranks.

The Southern Mountain Dragons, however, would not stay in the Skywing tribe for long, instead forming their own tribe, the Nightwings, and keeping their nocturnal lifestyles and building their own society around it.

Hundreds of years after The Scorching, the Skywings, under the rule on an ambitious queen, would start a conflict with neighboring tribes over territory. This would be known as the War of Skywing Expansion. The war would see the Nightwings pushed out of their mountain territory and the tribe would find a new territory on the southwest peninsula.

🟡 Stone Dragons

Based on an obvious Sandwing ancestor in The Flames of Hope, page 183.

Stone Dragons lived around rocky areas and caves at the base of cliffs and mountains. They were an offshoot of the Mountain Dragons, distinct only in their much paler coloration, back sail, and venomous tail barb. They usually possessed flecks of black scales. Their venom evolved independently of other species. Diets consisted of anything they could catch.

After The Scorching they were the first to colonize the newly formed desert that once housed a large human civilization. Other species would try to colonize the area, but as temperatures got more extreme, only the Stone Dragons would be able to adapt. Their descendants became known as the Sandwings. This species has remained virtually unchanged since The Scorching.

🔵 Sea Dragons

Sea Dragons are mentioned in The Flames of Hope page 181. Page 185 states they couldn't breathe fire.

Sea Dragons were semiaquatic, coming mostly in shades of blue and green. They lived on the eastern coast, on islands and beneath the ocean. They had specialized gills and kidneys that allowed them to tolerate a wide range of salinity levels. They had bioluminescent spots along their body used for communication. This species did not possess firebreath. Their diet consisted of fish and pinnipeds.

While a majority of Sea Dragons lived in the ocean, there was a small population living in freshwater rivers and lakes on the southeast coast, sometimes referred to as Swamp Dragons by local humans. They were more on the greener side than their marine cousins. They ate fish and whatever animals they could ambush from the water.

During the War of Skywing Expansion, some Skywing defectors would flee their kingdom and find refuge in the southeast with the Swamp Dragons. After the war they would eventually form a new tribe together, calling themselves the Mudwings.

The Seawings would be one of the earliest tribes to form. They’ve remained virtually unchanged since The Scorching.

🟣 Ice Dragons

Ice dragons were the most isolated species of dragon. They were fully adapted to Pyrrhia’s northern tundra and possessed frostbreath in place of firebreath. Their diets consisted primarily of fish and pinnipeds, but would hunt anything if the opportunity presented itself.

After The Scorching the Icewings would be one of the earliest tribes to form. They’ve remained unchanged since The Scorching. This is, of course, a point of pride for the Icewings. It is unknown if Animus Magic had appeared yet.

🟢 Forest Dragons

Based on Freedom, with the caveat that Freedom is a Mountain/Forest hybrid. The dragon described in The Flames of Hope, page 186 is heavily implied to be her mother.

Forest Dragons were a species adapted to an arboreal lifestyle. They were brightly colored and came in all color combinations, and had rounded wings. They possessed venomous fangs in place of firebreath. They made their nests in the trees. Those living in the southern rainforests were primarily frugivores and were much more colorful, while those in more temperate forests were more omnivorous, eating anything they could find, and had greener scales. They would often take naps in the middle of the day to gain energy from the sun. Leafspeak was a rare ability possessed by some individuals.

The Forest Dragons would give rise to three tribes after The Scorching. Those already adapted to the rainforest would form their own tribe, the Rainwings. The Rainwings would independently evolve their color changing ability over time.

Those best adapted to temperate forests formed their own tribe, the Leafwings. The Leafwing tribe happened to have the most Leafspeakers within their population, which they enthusiastically integrated into their agricultural practices.

During the War of Skywing Expansion, the Leafwing tribe would be forced out of their territory and would eventually make their way across the ocean to a new continent, Pantala.

One isolated population of Forest Dragons had already been evolving some odd traits by the time of The Scorching, such as a second set of wings and silk glands. This population evolved on the southwest peninsula, and would form their own tribe, the Beetlewings.

During the War of Skywing Expansion, the Beetlewings would be forced out of their territory by the Nightwings, who would then take over the peninsula as the Beetlewings joined the Leafwings in their exodus from Pyrrhia into Pantala.

Wings of Fire Worldbuilding: Map of the Known World

The maps of Pantala and Pyrrhia!

You may notice that the hives are not marked on the map, and that the Poison Jungle extends farther west into Pantala than it does in canon. Why is that, you may ask? It's because this map is set ~250 years in the future, when my AU takes place!

You may also note that I said a map of the KNOWN world, and that's to leave it open for future additions and information that may come from canon or my AU!

My takes on the Pyrrhian dragons

[ninoxwof]

MAJOR UPDATE FOR MY SH0P!! I've added psd bases for all seven of the pyrrhian tribes based on refined versions of my tribe headcanons available for purchase. And if you buy the pack you get about 30% off the price compared to if you purchase them all one by one! You can get them here They all come with premade customizable features such as horns, eye shapes, coloring layers and markings. As well as tribe specific features for each such as frills, barbels, feathers, tails, fins, sails, and fur! Each of the item listings provide a couple colored examples to give you a feel what to expect. There's also free png template versions of these available as well but they don't include the color layers or extra features. If these do well and capture some people's interest, I might make the pantalan tribes as well.

@thepuncherofcheese

I guess it's up to interpretation if you'd like, but not exactly what I intended haha

Think of it in terms of a continent from the real world. While a lot of the far north regions of larger continents IRL are cooler for most of the year, it's actually only completely snow-covered year-round at the highest altitudes and much closer to the poles. But the majority of IceWing territory is snow-covered during the winter!

Thorne and I mapped out the climates in a way that's relatively similar to continental North America. Here's a comparison of our Pyrrhia sized next to ALL of North America (this is how they would look side by side if Pyrrhia existed):

There's still a lot of fantasy climate placement going on, but at the very least is somewhat believable (imo at least, a real scientist might disagree).

You'll notice that the desert & rainforest are FAR bigger than anything that exists on earth irl today, but to be completely fair, everything is untouched by industrial capitalism and the story revolves around gigantic flying reptiles.
