=== The Great War Of Challenge ===
The Great War of Challenge started when Queen Wolffish ordered an attack on the seawing and tried to claim their territory for the tidewings. After the seawings were almost defeated, Queen Flameback formed the Eastern Alliance with the Empress Selenidera and the rainwings. Soon after, Queen Wolffish allied with Queen Cholla and the sandwings and leafwings. After two more attacks from the Tidewings, reinforced with the sandwing army, Queen Flameback officially called war. A year after the war started, Queen Cholla her sandwings to attack the skywings and her leafwings to attack the icewings. After this attack Ursus announced that the icewings had joined the war, and the icewing army quickly defeated the attacking leafwings. The skywings and sandwings battled for several months without joining the war. It was only after a sandwing soldier killed Prince Pine that Queen Snowcap announced that the skywings were joining the war in an alliance with the icewings. Shortly after the skywings joined, Queen Blattodea and Queen Tortoiseshell attacked the leafwings. Caught in the middle of this attack, Queen Thistle arranged with Queen Blattodea and Queen Tortoiseshell to make sure that there would be no attacks in Halfwing territory and that it was a safe ground for all dragons, although this rule has been broken a few times throughout the years. The leafwings attacked the hivewings and silkwings, so the two queens formed an alliance. The leafwing attack was successful and the Pantalan Alliance had to retreat to the northern half of Pantala. Queen Fighter announced halfway through the war that the nightwings would, under no circumstances, join the war. Although Queen Otter never officially anounced it, only a very small fragment of mudwings have fought in the war.
* During the war the seawings have lost a significant amount of territory and are now having to retreat back to the original seawing territory (the same as the main series)
* Despite the fact that the tidewings attacked first, many dragons blame the seawings for the start of the war.
* The Great War of Challenge has been going on for 12 years, and nightwing seers predict that it will last another several years,
* The skywings are the only tribe who's territory hasnt changed during the course of the war.
* Several fishing towns along the eastern coast of the Sky Kingdom and western coast of the Ice Kingdom have been converted to war bases, leading many civilians to move into safe towns like possibility or further inland.
