The Underground is a city present in Wings of Fire: Silent Sounds; it is located in a massive cave system that runs under the southern area of the Claws of the Clouds Mountains. This city system is home to the many refugee Pantalan dragons, as well as some Pyrrhian dragons, most of which are either hybrids or exiled dragons. The area was founded after Sanctuary became too overpopulated when the Pantalan tribes took refuge there. It is currently led by both Hazel and Sundew, with Hazel leading the top portion and Sundew leading the lower portion.
__TOC__
== Notable Features ==
The Underground features a large cave system, which houses the city its citizens live in; this cave system covers the southern area of the Claws of the Clouds Mountains. The tunnels of this system are very wide and they constantly branch off. The residents use this to their advantage by creating the inside of buildings out of each tunnel that branches off the main tunnel. The tunnels that branch off of the main one usually have branches of their own, which are used as the rooms for each building; these rooms are typically carved to be either spherical or box-shaped. These buildings can also have several stories, with higher stories leading to upper main tunnels, and lower stories leading to lower main tunnels.
In the centre of the cave system, a large, ovular area with a flat floor has been excavated to become a sort of gathering area. There is a fountain with a statue in the centre that conveys the ten tribes living in harmony; restaurants and shops have been carved out along the walls of this area. The centre also leads to the upper and lower main tunnels. This area reminds the SilkWings and HiveWings of the centres of the hives.
The upper main tunnels lead to several openings through the sides of mountains. The lower main tunnels are similar to the main tunnels, but some sections open up to underground hot springs, which are popular attractions in the Underground. There are ladders leading to the upper and lower tunnels to aid those who are flightless.
It's noted that most of the homes of HiveWings and SilkWings are usually lined with their own version of treestuff, likely to remind them of the home they once had, while LeafWings have their walls woven with plants.
== History ==
=== Wings of Fire: Silent Sounds AU ===
The Underground was founded after Sanctuary became too overcrowded due to the arrival of the Pantalan dragons. Once the cave system was found, most of the Pantalan dragons and a few dragons who were already living in Sanctuary moved to create the new town; few Pantalan dragons stayed behind in Sanctuary.
It was voted that new dragons should lead this town, and a tie was made between Sundew and Hazel. They both decided to lead the town at the same time, with Hazel leading the higher part and Sundew leading the lower.
== Notable Residents ==
* Hazel is the former heir of the LeafWings, who now leads the upper portion of the Underground
* Sundew is the former leader of the Plan of the LeafWings, who now leads the lower portion of the Undergound
== Trivia ==
* The area is loosely based on the homes of Ground-nesting bees, which are colonies of bees that live underground by creating tunnels in the soil
* While both of the populations of Sanctuary and the Underground contain the same types of dragons (hybrids, exiled dragons, and Pantalan dragons), the Underground contains significantly more Pantalan dragons than Sanctuary, just as Sanctuary contains more hybrids and exiled dragons than the Underground
** The Underground contains more Pantalan hybrids, while Sanctuary contains more Pyrrhian hybrids
