The **Mud Kingdom** is the home and territory of the MudWings. It forms the back of Pyrrhia which is right under the Sky Kingdom's wing and next to the Rainforest Kingdom and the Kingdom of the Sea. Queen Moorhen currently rules the Mud Kingdom.

## Description

The Mud Kingdom is a vast marshy swampland with clusters of mud structures made by MudWings. Turtle describes it as dreary, swampy, and bog-riddled while Jerboa described it to have gloppy, endless swamps, that emit an incessant sound of gurgling water. The kingdom is mostly various forms of wetland, with rivers, including the Diamond Spray River, which feeds into the Diamond Spray Delta in the north. The Diamond Spray Delta is where the lowest-born MudWings are born, according to Kestrel. The kingdom also contains areas of grassland with a few trees here and there, with some of the grasslands hypothetically being used for agriculture. All over the kingdom, there are MudWings hiding or sleeping in the mud. There is also a delta and a ravine/fissure mentioned in *The Dragonet Prophecy*, where a battle took place between Blaze's army and the MudWings.

Where the Mud Kingdom meets the Kingdom of the Sea, the forest and ocean are separated by a strip of sandy beach. Where it meets the Rainforest Kingdom, there is an area of swampy, foggy forest that gradually transitions into the rainforest.

## Notable Features

### Queen Moorhen's palace

Queen Moorhen's palace is the MudWing tribe's palace, where the queen and her siblings reside. It is located next to a large lake at the southern edge of the Mud Kingdom, about a day's flight from the rainforest.

### Diamond Spray Delta

The Diamond Spray Delta is known for being the home of the lowest-born MudWings. It was first mentioned by Kestrel in *The Dragonet Prophecy*. There is a path of dried dirt that runs through the delta's village. On either side, there are large mud puddles for MudWings to sleep and hunt in, as well as sleep houses. Sleephouses are tall mud towers that each MudWing troop sleeps in. Generally, one troop sleeps in a certain sleep house.

### Diamond Spray River

The Diamond Spray River is a river that leads down from the Sky Kingdom to the Diamond Spray Delta.

## History

### The Dragonet Prophecy

#### *The Dragonet Prophecy*

With Glory, Clay met his mother, Cattail, along with his sibs Reed, Pheasant, Umber, Marsh, and Sora near the Diamond Spray Delta, which is where "the lowest-born MudWings crawl." The dragons of the Mud Kingdom lived with their sibling units in huts made of mud with holes in them to enter and exit.

#### *The Hidden Kingdom*

The dragonets and Webs walked along the outskirts of the Mud Kingdom to get to the rainforest. Starflight claimed Queen Moorhen's palace was near a large lake and only a day's flight away. They also found two dead MudWing soldiers who were killed by the NightWings.

#### *The Brightest Night*

Sunny and Clay went to the Mud Kingdom so they could use their dreamvisitor to visit the dreams of the MudWings to try to get a message to Burn about the meeting outside of her stronghold. They learned that the MudWings were planning an assault on the IceWings, and managed to convince Queen Moorhen to drop the idea.

### The Jade Mountain Prophecy

#### *Moon Rising*

Umber briefly recalled memories of him and his siblings when they were together in the Mud Kingdom.

#### *Escaping Peril*

Chameleon briefly mentioned that the Mud Kingdom is tolerable.

#### *Talons of Power*

Turtle stopped in the Mud Kingdom for a break on his way to find Anemone.

### The Lost Continent Prophecy

#### *The Dangerous Gift*

Jerboa stayed in the Mud Kingdom while hiding from Scorpion.

### Legends

#### *Darkstalker*

While studying in the library, Clearsight considered running away to the Mud Kingdom.

#### *Dragonslayer*

Throughout the book, Wren thought about the kingdom and its geography.

### Winglets

#### *Assassin*

In order to break the MudWings' alliance with Blister, Deathbringer wrote a note mentioning that the coast of the Mud Kingdom would never be the SeaWings' land. Commander Piranha threatened General Swamp that they would actually take the land if the MudWings insisted that they were innocent.

### Field Guides

#### *A Guide to the Dragon World*

The MudWing chapter of the guide featured several stories that took place in or mentioned the Mud Kingdom, including Wisemind's *The Sluglike Qualities of MudWings*, Sepia's *A Few of the Many Noble Qualities of MudWings*, Moccasin's *The Mysterious Egg*, and Prince Sawgrass's *But Who Shall Wear the Crown?* Fatespeaker wrote to Starflight in a letter that she was visiting the Mud Kingdom to gather scrolls about MudWing culture and history.
