Darkstalker Won AU

AHHH POPULAR PAGES YAY!!! (March 29 - April 18)
 
==NightWings ==
 
The glorious King Darkstalker, the first king in the history of Pyrrhia rules over the NightWings. They live in a large and lavish territory, taking up more than half the continent, including much of what used to be the Ice, Sky, and Sand kingdoms. It is filled with many beautiful landmarks, including the beautiful and amazing Darkstalker Castle, home to our wonderful ruler, King Darkstalker. Nearly all of the NightWings have special powers, given to them by their ever so generous King Darkstalker. In order to have fairness throughout the tribe, priority was given to those who were not hatched under even a single full-moon. These powers can vary from anywhere between the usually prophecy and mind-reading to super-strength and extreme speed, as the amazing King Darkstalker needs not for the limits conventional abilities. 
The NightWings are by far the wealthiest tribe in Pyrrhia, with many of them owning second homes in the former Ice Kingdom, which is no longer cold and unwelcoming thanks to the everlasting intelligence of King Darkstalker as the Ice Wall has been torn down and extra warming bracelets given to every household, so that the NightWings may vacation there. 
==SandWings==
 
The SandWings are led by Sub-Queen Pear. When King Darkstalker first came to power, the SandWings fought back against him, but alas, as King Darkstalker is all-seeing and all-mighty, this was in futility. The SandWings became severely weakened in their act of rebellion and nearly half the population died. The ever merciful King Darkstalker saw that there was no use in continuing the fighting, and struck a deal with Queen Pear while gaining more land for the Night Kingdom. After the Sand-Night treaty was signed each SandWing was relieved of their tail barb, as the glorious King Darkstalker saw that it posed to much of a threat to both the SandWings and the dragons around them. They were also given more golden scales, so that they would not blend in as easily, as the wise King Darkstalker understood it would be too dangerous if they were able to ambush the other tribes in the desert. They were allowed to keep their fire, thanks to the merciful nature of King Darkstalker, but it was weakened so that they couldn't hurt other dragons with it. 
==RainWings==
The RainWings, once a respected tribe resisted heavily to King Darkstalker's rule, as their last queen, Queen Papaya, did not want to give up her tyrannical control over the NightWings. But King Darkstalker was never one to give up, he persevered against the evil Queen Papaya, and forced the RainWings under his thumb during what is now known as the Great Uniting. Now the amazing King Darkstalker rules of both tribes, with the RainWings as servants to the NightWings. They no longer have their dangerous powers, as they could pose a threat to the tribes around them.
Also, they're controlled by little metal armbands around their wrists. See, the NightWings thought no one knew about that. But I do. Have fun figuring out how that happened.
==MudWings==
The MudWings are led by Sub-Queen Heron. They are tasked with the very important assignment of guarding the Talon Peninsula. Most of the Mud Kingdom is taken up by museums talking about the glory and power of the NightWings. Because they have the MudWings are one of the most loyal tribes to King Darkstalker, they are mostly independent, except for the ones born from blood-red eggs, who are taken away to serve the King. MudWings have light reddish brown scales and can hold their breath for up to an hour. They have had their fire weakened, like all fire-breathing tribes except NightWings, who can be trusted to use theirs responsibly. They once had mud-brown scales, but they were removed so that they would be more easily visible in the mud. 
==IceWings==
 
The Ice Wings were once a fierce and viscous tribe, wanting to destroy Pyrrhia. 
Come one, I think that's an exaggeration. 
Fortunately the kind King Darkstalker put an end to their villany, driving the tribe extinct. 
Yeah, I don't know about you, but I'm not extinct. 
However, when the tribe was alive, they had sharp serrated claws and deadly frostbreath, capable of freezing any dragon it touched instantly. 
That's right, I'm not just a random dragon writing in the margins of a scroll. 
The tribe also had a multitude of extra spikes running along the back of their necks with icy blue and white scales.
I'm an IceWing. And you need to listen to me.
They used to be ruled by Queen Blizzard, and protected their cold and desolate kingdom with a tall Ice Cliff, which would puncture any non-IceWing dragon with frozen spears of icicles, never allowing them to see the beautiful and grand palaces and cities that lay behind it. King Darkstalker understood how unfair this was, for he is a generous and fair ruler.
I've never been to the Ice Kingdom. No IceWing alive has. But the stories. Oh, the stories make it seem so amazing. That's what I'm fighting for.
Fortunately, the intelligent and cunning King Darkstalker tore down the old Ice Wall and generously gave his subjects bracelets that kept the cold from their scales. The NightWings can now vacation there, all thanks to the actions of our glorius and kind King Darkstalker.
Wow, whoever's writing this really loves Darkstalker. Well guess what, I don't. And I'm coming for you, "King" Darkstalker. And when I find you you're going to be sorry you ever hurt my tribe.
==SkyWings==
 
The SkyWings once had one of the largest territories in Pyhrria, but the wise King Darkstalker understood that the tribe's territory was too large, and might make them feel as though they were powerful enough to attack the NightWings. Because the merciful and kind King Darkstalker didn't want to risk war, he made the genius decision to take some of their land for the Night Kingdom. He also gave them smaller wings, as they didn't need to be able to fly as fast with a smaller kingdom to traverse. They have weakened fire, so that they can't hurt other dragons but can still cook food.
==SeaWings== 
 
The SeaWings have been given a very important job. The always intelligent King Darkstalker realized that the Sea Kingdom was full of resources, and so the SeaWings have been given the task of gathering resources for the Night Kingdom, as the kind King Darkstalker didn't want his own subjects to be troubled with the task. They have gills, for breathing underwater, as well as scales that glow in the dark. Their scales are blue and green, and they have webbed talons for swimming. They are ruled by Sub-Queen Beluga.
== HiveWings==
 
When King Darkstalker first found Pantala, its inhabitants had been contaminated by the spores of a mind-controlling plant. However, the glorious King Darkstalker was able to vanquish this foe as easily as any other and freed the dragons from the vine's grasp. The HiveWings, he found, were actually descended from his dear beloved Clearsight, and welcomed them to Pyrrhia when they decided to migrate over. They are ruled by Sub-Queen Springtail. Aside from the NightWings, they are probably one of the most powerful tribes in Pyhrria, as they are descended from Clearsight, the love of King Darkstalker. They no longer have any special abilites, as only NightWings are capable enough to handle such varied and distinct abilities.
==LeafWings==
 
The LeafWings live in the rainforest and are ruled by Sub-Queen Cypress.They fled Pantala as well, and the intelligent and kind King Darkstalker realized that now that the RainWings no longer lived there, the rainforest would be the perfect home for them.
==SilkWings ==
 
The SilkWings act as servants to the HiveWings and are also ruled by Sub-Queen Springtail.
King Darkstalker realized, in his wisdom, that the SilkWings were incapable of governing themsevelves, and gave them to the HiveWings. They have excellent happy lives and serve the HiveWings, helping to make the Hive Kingdom, and by extension the Night Kingdom even stronger.
As far is I know, the only reason Darkstalker lets the HiveWings rule the SilkWings is because he holds a grudge against them. I haven't been able to figure out why but I think its somehow related to Clearsight...

==Night Kingdom==
 
===Overview===
The Night Kingdom is the largest and most sophisticated kingdom in Pyhrria. The entire Kingdom encompasses more than half of Pyrrhia from the most northern of the former Ice Kingdom, to the deserts of the old SandWing villages. It takes up much of the continent, including parts of the old Ice kingdom, Sand Kingdom, and Sky Kingdom. The border runs along what used to be the Claws of the Clouds mountains, before an earthquake leveled half of it about 1,000 years ago. It has many beautiful buildings and palaces. Some were built by the incredible magic of King Darkstalker, and others were built by NightWing talons. Here, every NightWings can live in splendor, as the tribe was meant to do.
Oh, Darkstalker, what have you done? Even I could never see this far into the future. Why did you do this, why?
===Notable Landmarks===
Darkstalker 
Darkstalker is the capitol of the Night Kingdom, a lavish and beautiful city. Many NightWings call it home, and have large and elegant mansions there. It is located on the Talon Peninsula, and is the main home of our glorious King Darkstalker, who resides in Darkstalker Castle.
Darkstalker Castle
Darkstalker Castle is huge and grand, the pride of the Night Kingdom. King Darkstalker wisely didn't use his own magic on it, instead making the shrewd decision to use the magic of the other animus dragons who serve him.
It is built out of obsidian, dark and cool, matching the scales of the ever-imposing King Darkstalker. The subjects of King Darkstalker parade through it during the day, praising his wisdom and glory. Our ever helpful King Darkstaker can almost always be found on his throne, ready to help his subjects and increase the glory of the Night Kingdom.
Also, there's a secret room where he keeps trying to bring me back to life. I remember it all now. Every detail. I forced one of his animus servants to make it so no one could cast spells on me to forget things.
Temple of Clearsight
The Temple of Clearsight houses the continent's largest library, and has many ancient scrolls, including a book written by Clearsight herself over 4,000 years ago. It is one of the greatest and most beautiful structures in the entire Night Kingdom, and is located in the shadow of Darkstalker Castle. It was formerly located in Pantala but the intelligent King Darkstalker made the wise decision to move it to the Night Kingdom so that others could see it too. The temple is the destination of many field trips for schools in not only the Night Kingdom, but the Mud, Sea, and Hive kingdoms as well. Unfortunately, LeafWings are not allowed in the temple, due to their history of stealing the sacred texts inside. The Temple of Clearsight is made of over fifty different types of wood, blended together in perfection. 
Clearsight Castle
In the very north of the Night Kingdom, sits a large castle that once belonged to the queen of the IceWings. It is now King Darkstalker's castle. It is named after the sadly deceased love of King Darkstalker, Clearsight. 
Hi! I'm Clearsight! I'm alive for absolutely no reason, and totally not dead, and I love it! Oh no... Darkstalker put a cheerfulness spell on me, didn't he? 
It is built in the IceWing style, as it was once the home of the queen of the IceWings, and is Darkstalker's secondary castle. King Darkstalker also made the wise decision to use it as a museum, so that no one will ever forget how dangerous the IceWings are.

=== History===
The Night Kingdom has a rich and wonderful history. Four thousand years ago, the NightWings had a vibrant civilization on the Talon Peninsula. It was a wonderful time for the Nighngs. They had a beautiful library, a advanced school, and often hosted other tribes for festivals and competions. In addition, during this time, King Darkstalker was hatched. As a seer, mind-reader, and animus dragon, he would have brought the tribe into an even more glorius future. However, he was betrayed by an evil SeaWing named Fathom, who had pretended to be his friend, and then put him to sleep underneath Agate Mountain, where he slumbered for two thousand years. The tribe fled to a volcano, due to the lies of the current queen, who told the NightWings that Darkstalker was an evil monster who wanted to destroy the tribe. But Darkstalker could not be kept down forever. He emerged from the mountain, ready to bring Pyrhria into the wonderful future he knew it could achieve. When he did, he found out that the Night Kingdom was gone, and the NightWings had come under the control of the RainWings. He set out immediately to free them, and did so, bringing them back to the true Night Kingdom. But before he could truly recreate the kingdom he had known in his youth, he was tranformed into a dragonet. Now though, Darkstalker is back, and the Night Kingdom is better than ever, taking up much of Pyrhhia and home to some truly exceptional sights that can't be found anywhere else. The NightWing tribe has never been as strong and powerful as it is now, and it's all thanks to our wonderful king and our magnificent kingdom. 
==Sand Kingdom== 
 
===Overview===
The Sand Kingdom is a small, somewhat desolate land, with only a few oases to support life. It is much smaller and less advanced than the Night Kingdom, and is home to many criminals. However, it has it's own charm to it, and is home to a small population of SandWings.
===Notable Landmarks=== 
Sub-Queen Pear's Mansion 
Sub-Queen Pear's mansion is not as large or grand as Darkstalker or Clearsight Castle, but it is an acceptable home for a Sub-Queen. It is built of sandstone and desert rock, and decorated with beautiful tapestries. Many of the Sub-Queens advisors make there home in or around the mansion
The New Scorpion Den
The New Scorpion den sits inside the two thousand year old tunnels that can be found throughout Jade Mountain. Legend has it there used to be a school there many centuries ago, but it has long since closed its doors. King Darktalker is wise and allows it to continue on despite the hordes of criminals that call it home. We may not know why, but we must trust King Darkstalker's judgement.
Because he has spies there. Didn't you know? Darkstalker has spies EVERYWHERE. He knows everything that happens every sound, every breath. Its really creepy.
=== History===
The history of the Sand Kingdom, while not as interesting as the Night Kingdom, is nonetheless intriquing. For a long time, the Sand Kingdom was a barren place, with only a few oases to support life. Nontheless, the tough, scorpion like SandWings survived and even thrived in the Kingdom. They stole treasure from the NightWings and with this, built up one of the greatest treasuries in the world.

=A Guide To Pantala=
Map coming soon... ish
By Harpy and Inferno the SkyWings, Egret the MudWing, and Antiopa the SilkWing
Um, hey? So, we got ahold of this funny recorder thingy and we want to tell you about us. About Pantala. About what Darkstalker really has going on here.
Harpy, give me that! I'm Egret. And yeah, that's what were going to do. Probably no one will ever find this, but... 
And I'm Antiopia! I'm the best one, these two are boriiiiiing. Down here, many things hide. Secret. Broken promises. Buried magic. Dragons, powerful dragons, hidden deep away so that no one will ever find them. Welcome to Pantala. 
==The Animus Lair==
Stop being so dramatic! But, yeah. I've been to the animus lair, only once, so that an animus could enchant my chains. It's awful, even worse than here. You could say Egret, Antiopia and me are lucky. At least we haven't been experimented on. Not much anyways. Not like they have. 
Now you're being dramatic too! And your not even saying any of the important stuff, like I once heard, that its in a place that used to be called Wasp Hive! 
But it's true! That place is CREEPY!!! Also, no one cares about your old history fixation. They want us to talk about the animus dragons! There's one that screams day and night. "He took it! I'll kill him! It's gone!" They scream. I think they lost their soul. Theirs one that just huddles in a pile on the floor. They lost their magic, and they don't know how to go on without it. 
There's one, this poor, poor SandWing who seems to have lost most of her body. Only her head, legs, and torso is left, but all her claws, her wings, and tail barb are gone. I don't know what happened to her. I don't want to know. 
And one of them stares at Darkstalker with mindless wide eyes, like a zombie. They follow his ever move, repeat his every word. They're his loyal servant. I often wonder what that dragon is like inside. I bet they hate him more than anyone. I wish they could fight back. But no one can. There's no point to it. One of the rooms only has a SeaWing corpse in it. Harpy told me about it. I wonder what that dragon did to displease him. 
As far as I can tell, there isn't a single Animus on the planet who isn't in the Lair. Its horrible.
Come to think of it, that's probably why he keeps them so far away. The entire place is probably cursed.
==The Powered Caverns==
Ugh. Give me that thing. You know whats more important than the Animus Lair? Here! We need to tell the dragons where we are so they can come rescue us!
How would they find us? There aren't any dragons from Pyrrhia here other than Darkstalker and the ones he brings over!
Well it could work, you never know!
I, for one, think it's a good idea! WE. ARE. IN. A. BIG. METAL. BUILDING.
You don't have to talk like that, they aren't deaf. And you aren't even saying anything useful!
I'm just going to refrain from pointing out for the hundredth time that talking louder and slower does not help a dragon who CAN'T HEAR! It doesn't work for Inferno, it won't work for whoever might listen to this!
Fine, jeez, I get it. Egret, do you have any old useless information that might be helpful here?
Well, look who cares about old history stuff now!
Just tell them.
Okay, okay, I was getting to that. This place used to be called Cicada Hive, but it looks a lot different than the old one, its like Darkstalker changed the wood to metal.
Well, I guess that makes sense. This entire place is filled with flamesilks like Antiopa, heat-resistant dragons like Egret, and firescales like me and my sister.
*Sound of footsteps*
Say, hi, Inferno!
*Sound of claws clicking together*
Inferno says hi! She's deaf and only communicates through sign language.
*Sound of claws clicking together*
*Sound of more claws clicking together*
So, Inferno has to go for now, but she'll be back later if we get to anything really interesting. But anyway, yeah. This is our section, but there are other parts of the powered caverns. I don't know where, but I think their's one that holds dragons with leafspeak. 
== Darkstalker's Lair ==
Hey, it's Antiopa, the best dragon here. And I want to tell you about a rumor I heard.
Again with the rumor? Everyone knows thats not true.
It is too!
*Sound of claws clicking together*
What? Why are you taking her side?
*Sound of claws clicking together*
Hold on a sec, I need to translate this:
I heard that Acacia heard that Juniper's friend's cousin's brother knew someone who had been to Darkstalker's-
Hold on, whats that word again?
*Sound of claws clicking together*
-lair. Wait, we're calling it a lair now? Since when is it a lair?
Since Darkstalker started doing lair-y things in there
Oh yay, Egret's here
Was that sarcasm?
Yes, that was sarcasm! Anyway, How do you know what Darkstalker does?
I don't but Antiopia says Acacia says-
Since when is Acacia a reliable source?
Since forever!
*Sound of claws clicking together*
See? Inferno agrees with me!
OK, I give up, do a section on your probably not true rumor thing. I'm going to go try to find a secret exit so we can escape ourselves.'''
*Sound of claws clicking together*
Welp, I guess I'm the translator now!
So, the rumor is that Darkstalker has a secret lair in Mantis Hive that's filled with all his old animus objects.
Ooh! Add that that's where we think this recording diamond thing came from.
Also, that's where we think the recording diamond-thing came from.
*Sound of claws clicking together*
Technically its lemon quartz...
Ok, that's where we think the recording lemon quartz- thing came from
*Sound of claws clicking together*
Good.
You're skipping over all the important parts! Like that Darkstalker does all his planning there and has scrolls with all the possible future threats to his reign written on them!
Oh yeah! I think he takes the dragons as eggs and keeps them in the hive across from us! Whats it called again?
I'm pretty sure its Bloodworm Hive.
 
Oh, that place. 
==Hornet Hive==
Oh yay, you're done. Now I'm going to talk about something that actually exists. Hornet Hive.
*Sound of claws clicking together*
What's so important about Hornet Hive? Isn't it just one of the Abandoned Hives?
No. Its where Darkstalker keeps all the other dragons, the ones with unnatural powers. The hybrids. Any dragons that are just plain weird. Like this blue SkyWing who can control snakes*!
I heard he experiments on some of them and uses their powers.
* Character by AuroraTheSilkWingQueen
==The Abandoned Hives==
Are you guys done now? I want to tell them about the abandoned Hives!
Tell them what? They're just a bunch of old buildings Darkstalker doesn't have any use for
