Dragon's Edge

**Dragon's Edge** is the name of a base located on **Outpost Island** that Hiccup and the other Dragon Riders use as a headquarters in "Valerix: Dragonflix. It becomes the Base of Operation for the new Valerix in ASHE Season 2

## Official Description

**"This is Dragon's Edge. It's remote, it's dangerous, and until recently, it's been our home. It's also been a home to our dragons."**

## Geography

Dragon's Edge is located north-east of Berk, and not too far from Valka's Mountain. It has a similar shape to that of the dragon breeding ground. The island is covered with forests of moderate density. There are also numerous cliffs, and the island itself is surrounded by rather shallow lagoons.

The central mountain peak is covered in ice and snow. However, it is actually a dormant volcano that becomes active with what appears to be basalt lava that flows from it.

## Notable Places

Each of the Dragon Riders has their own hut that is somehow related to the Rider's personality or to their dragon. The huts are connected by bridges, zip-lines, and/or planks. Heather shared a hut with Astrid in the time she was there, and the twins always share a hut.

### Hiccup's Hut

Hiccup's hut has a Toothless-inspired design with a built-in forge and plenty of crazy contraptions on the roof including a windmill. The interior is nearly identical to his house on Berk. He and Toothless sleep on a loft, accessed by a log with steps carved out of it. The lower floor has different tail designs for Toothless and shields on the wall. There's also a table and chairs, a large chest, and many crates and barrels for storage.

### Astrid's Hut

Astrid's hut, as would be expected, is more of a heavily-armed fortress than a usual hut. There is even a ballista on her roof. In her original design, she had a look-out tower and interlocking fields of fire. Her design also appears to have lots of skulls and torches, and her walls decorated with axes. She even has a weapon hanger in the middle of her floor. She has a Deadly Nadder head made of wood for decoration at the top of her hut. Her hut is also closer to Hiccup's than any of the others.

### Ashley's Hut

Ashley's hut is a mixture of her wild personality and her mysterious side. Inside it is decorated with a weapons hangar designed by Astrid, a medatation corner designed by Fishlegs and a training ground outside behind her hut designed by Hiccup. She has a balcony on the second floor alongside a small compartment for Smidvarg to sleep. She has a Changewing head made out of wood for decoration at the top of her hut.

### Fishlegs' Hut

Fishlegs, one who is more interested in learning and relaxing than violence and war, builds a tranquil meditation house and a rock garden. His original design had a hot tub, a mud bath, and other ideas for relaxation. His outpost is quiet and secluded, overlooking the ocean. He has a large pond surrounded by rocks for him and Meatlug to sit on and meditate. Inside the hut, he has a fireplace similar to the one in his house on Berk and many dragon inspired figurines on shelves.

### Tuffnut and Ruffnut's Hut

Ruffnut is more orderly, while Tuffnut enjoys the crazy and impractical. They have what seems to be a giant hole in the ground called the 'Boar Pit'. Together, they build something so convoluted that it requires giant balloons to keep it standing upright.

### Snotlout's Hut

Snotlout may be the shortest of the Dragon Riders but is never one to be bested. So, he installs a crank to raise and lower his hut so that it is always the tallest hut on the island. He also keeps a water tank next to his hut, just in case his highly flammable dragon sets the entire thing on fire. There is also a metal "S" partially painted red to represent his name.

### Clubhouse

The huts are connected to a larger hut for meetings in the centre of the island. The clubhouse is located in the middle of the island and looks over everything, the eye of Dragon's Edge. It serves a similar purpose to the Great Hall on Berk as an important place on the island where the Riders can gather together. There is a stone look-out tower beside it and a gigantic telescope to spot objects over the horizon. It connects to a short cavern that also leads outside.

### Dragon's Edge Stables|Stables

There is a beautiful three-story stable with holes to let light through, creating a unique atmosphere unlike any other building on Berk. The stables are able to hold all the riders' dragons and a few more captive dragons. It has also been used several times as a prison for Dagur, Viggo, and Gruffnut.

### Training Arena|Arena / Dome

There is also a giant arena with a closing dome to contain wild dragons or shelter from an attack. The gang uses it to train their dragons and conduct drills and practices, such as Beat the Dome. Caverns from the coastline lead through the ground up to a crack in the arena floor. The Riders use it as an alternate entrance to the arena and have it boarded up when not needed.

### Lookout Towers

Tall poles with white canopies on top dot the island, especially near the living areas. The Riders take turns to sit on top of them and keep watch over the sea for any oncoming danger. The Night Terror's also act as sentries by perching in the towers and alerting the Riders of any ships entering their waters.

## Appearances

### Valerix: Dragonflix

The island was first discovered by Magmar Thorston, Ruffnut and Tuffnut's great uncle, who legally claimed it for himself and his family, both present and future members.

Dragon's Edge was then re-discovered by Hiccup and his fellow Dragon Riders of Berk's Hairy Hooligan Tribe. It was there that Tuffnut discovered a flock of Night Terrors and their alpha Smidvarg. After befriending the flock, the Dragon Riders began construction on their outpost and allowed the Night Terrors to share it in "When Darkness Falls". When Magmar's claim stone was discovered, the twins were given the island in their family's name. At first, they instituted a series of ridiculous laws. However, they gave up their ownership when the Fireworm's attempted to migrate to the island. Hiccup and the Night Terrors were able to lead the Fireworms away from the Edge in "Reign of Fireworms", preventing the island from burning down.

Following the attacks made by a Skullcrusher, the riders then built a wall to defend the outpost against. However, they then learned that the Rumblehorn was trying to warn them of a tidal wave approaching. Together, they were able to save the outpost from the wave in "Crushing It". The Edge then became a refuge for Gronckles that had been forced to leave Dark Deep due to the Catastrophic Quaken, in "Quake, Rattle and Roll". A pack of Speed Stinger's then came for one of their own, Speedy in "The Next Big Sting".

Dragon's Edge remains the home base for the Dragon Riders as they fight the Dragon Hunters. Having finally discovered their location, Dagur and the Dragon Hunters launch an assault on the island, which is protected only by Astrid, Tuffnut, and their dragons, in "Edge of Disaster".

One particular cove is also visited in "Shock and Awe" when a Seashocker, becomes trapped in it.

A sword and writing on a wall were left in a hidden cave. A throne and some other equipment were also left with a flock of Albino Night Terrors that live in the caves in the episode "Follow the Leader". Fishlegs speculates that the things left behind are from a lost civilization.

In between excursions and battles off-island, Dragon's Edge also hosts the Twin's cousin, Gruffnut Thorston, in "Gruff Around the Edges".

The Dragon Riders experience 24-hour daylight on Dragon's Edge in "The Longest Day" and each succumbs to the effects of sleep deprivation, until the dragons put the Riders into an underground storage area to get some sleep.

Sleuther took up residence on Dragon's Edge, after being freed from the Hunters in a previous season. Unfortunately, he went wild again due to his back experience with humans, until Astrid finds a way to communicate with him, even though she is temporarily blinded in "Blindsided".

The volcano on Dragon's Edge becomes active and causes tremors and spews lava for months. The Dragon Riders initially use Gronckle Iron to plug up minor eruptions along the ground. However, this tactic does not last long. Hiccup and Fishlegs devise a new composite ore of Gronckle Iron mixed with Death Song amber. This plugs up the spewing lava long-term.

But even after the volcano quiets down, the island is permanently covered with cooled and hardened lava flows and scorched forests.

In "Dawn of Destruction", the Edge was taken over by Krogan and his flyers. They used the stables to hold the Singetails and retrieved the Dragon Eye from the volcano with Viggo's help.

Gruffnut returns to Dragon's Edge in "A Gruff Separation" to administer the Thorston Induction Trials to the Twins on their 19th birthday.

Fishlegs temporarily nurses an injured Singetail to health, then lets her go, in "Family Matters".

Finally, after all of the events that transpired and the threats to Berk, the Riders bid adieu to Dragon's Edge in "King of Dragons".
