SkyWings

SkyWings are one of the seven tribes of Pyrrhia created by Tui T. Sutherland. They are commonly considered grouchy, serious and aggressive by the other tribes of Pyrrhia.

Appearance
SkyWings typically have red, orange, or golden scales. Their eyes are often orange or yellow, with blue eyes being a trait of SkyWings with 'too much fire'.

Territory
The SkyWings live in the Sky Kingdom, a vast area of land ranging from the coastline south of Jade Mountain all the way to the northeastern tip of Pyrrhia (where the 'wing' of the continent ends.)

The Sky Kingdom is massive, containing the Claws of the Clouds mountains and Jade Mountain, the tallest peak in Pyrrhia. It borders the Mud Kingdom to the east, divided by the Diamond Spray Delta, the Rainforest Kingdom in the south, and the Sand Kingdom to the west.

Notable locations within the Sky Kingdom include; Queen Ruby's Palace, the SkyWing Arena (now a hospital), and Jade Mountain Academy, a school for all seven tribes of dragons.

Abilities
SkyWings are powerful dragons, born with massive wings that allow them to fly much faster than any other Pyrrhian dragon. They are naturally gifted at fighting; this, coupled with their especially hot firebreath, makes them a dangerous foe to face on the field of battle.

Some dragons are born with 'too much fire', or simply none at all - see the section below for more information.

'Firescales'
The phenomenon of dragons with 'too much fire' is known as Firescales, and has only been seen within the SkyWing tribe. It is considered a result of two dragonets being in one egg; the stronger will drain the fire from the weaker, becoming burning hot to the touch. These dragons typically have bright, eerie blue eyes and coppery-orange scales. Bright golden light shines through the gaps between their scales and in the veins of their wings, and steam constantly rises from their bodies.

SkyWing mothers are expected to murder both the strong, Firescales dragonet and the weak, fireless one at birth by tossing them off of a cliffside. There is only one known case where the dragonet survived to adulthood; Peril.
