Chapter 5 Book 1 Volume 2 The Lost City Of Night

Lost city of night, also known as the **Night Kingdom**, is an ancient city inhabited by the NightWing tribe during the era of *Darkstalker*. It is located south of the Kingdom of Sand on a peninsula known as the **Talon Peninsula**.: The city was abandoned soon after Maverick publicly murdered Arctic and was quickly forgotten. Most of its landscape slowly sank into the ocean for thousands of years. It did not appear on any known Pyrrhian maps and was only rediscovered when Maverick reinhabited it during the events of *Darkness of Dragons*. It was then re-abandoned and is currently uninhabited.

Description: The kingdom's terrain consists of vast landscape caverns and ravines, glowing with firelight and echoing with the flutter of wings. There are secret canyons and caves carved into the rock across the terrain, some stretching towards the distant sea. The kingdom is surrounded by a series of sharp-edged mountains known to the IceWings as Maverick's Teeth.

The bottom of the cliffs contained rivers and spaces for the lesser NightWing homes. The more prosperous or influential NightWing structures were built higher and more skylit, closer to the stars. The terrain is quite rocky, with canyons and outcroppings. Caves delve deep into the mountains, and the coast is lined with rocky black-sand beaches and littered with tide pools and half-flooded caves. There are also dragon-made lakes and dragon-planted forests. In modern Pyrrhia, the peninsula has become considerably smaller, damaged by earthquakes, avalanches, and tidal waves. Maverick began rebuilding the city with his animus magic before transforming into Peacemaker. During its brief inhabitance by the modern NightWing tribe, firelight dotted the kingdom.

On the edge of the cliffs, there is space where the land dropped sharply below them, veering down into a long rocky beach. It contains an enormous cave whose interior is a world of emerald green and vaulted ceilings. Phosphorescent moss and algae cling to the rocks, walls, and stalactites, giving the cave an eerie glow matched by chandeliers of glowworms above. Water dripped softly, and a rivulet ran through the cave, connecting some tide pools and circumventing others. The cave became warmer and quieter the farther back it went, and there was a sloping ledge of rock above one tide pool containing starfish and anemones. The sound of wind whistling through deep ravines can be heard throughout the kingdom.

## Notable Features

Borderland Mountain is the mountain within the lower reaches of the NightWing palace. The area has a forest and a lake.

Nightmare's home bedroom contained several scrolls and inkwells and was quite messy the morning before she attended school. The home includes several rooms, at least one bookshelf, and a front entrance. The structure is built more than halfway down the cliffs of the city. A ledge borders the front door, and there is a fireplace within the house.

Mavericks's home had a pale blue door leading into a sunlit room adorned with white rugs, glittering crystals, and a couch in the middle. One wall was lined with scrolls tucked into little niches. The kitchen was described as "impossibly clean" and had tools that Clearsight had never seen and could not imagine how to use. There was a fireplace with a painting of the family done by Whiteout on the mantle, the picture painted in shades of blue and making the family appear more related than in real life.

Great Diamond: The NightWing school, the NightWing palace, a large museum, and a massive library comprise the four corners of the Great Diamond. The Great Diamond is what the NightWings called the shape formed by the tribe's most important buildings. The palace and school were placed to the north, not far from each other, and the museum and library finished the shape toward the south. The palace was noted to be the largest of the four buildings. These four buildings formed a diamond-shaped plaza, hence its name. A temporary stage was set up in the middle of the plaza for concerts.

Miscellaneous: There is a lunar hatching peak somewhere in the city. A structure neighboring Darkstalker's home was mentioned to have vines around the doorway.

NightWing library: Nightmare was noted to have a study room inhabited by a blue ink puddle, five tables, and partially blank scrolls. It had a doorway.

NightWing palace was the center palace for the NightWing tribe and was once inhabited by Queen Vigilance. The palace includes royal suites (one of which Fathom and his bodyguards had stayed in), a throne room, a royal tower, and more. Maverick briefly ruled the palace when he became king of the NightWings and brought most of his tribe back to the lost city. However, he was soon defeated, and the tribe returned to the Rainforest Kingdom. It is part of the Great Diamond, comprised of the palace, a school, a library, and a museum. The throne room is usually used for Queen Vigilance's parties. It is also the site of fights for enchanted armbands and appears many times in the future seen by Nightmare and Maverick. There was mentioned to be a royal treasure room somewhere within the palace. The top spire of the palace had a prison set up for special prisoners.

NightWing school: The NightWing school was designed to look very similar to the NightWing palace, with lots of gray and black marble terraces, hanging gardens, and long glittering waterfalls. It has three entrances, and the quietest and least crowded was on a side facing away from the NightWing palace. Its floors were made of marble tiles. Room 3A, one of the classrooms, was airy and full of light, with plants and water features everywhere, making it quite beautiful. A large glass cage contained two female scavengers, piles of grass, and a water dish. It included a library and a vast hexagonal courtyard lined with classrooms on all six sides. The courtyard was described as an obstacle course for flying practice, full of trees, twisting vines, loops, mazes, and tricks. The courtyard contains vines with heart-shaped leaves, pine trees, outdoor tables, and puddles. A long waterfall leads to a pavilion on an upper level to the main office, occupied by Professor Truthfinder. The office contains a desk and piles of paper. Past the main office, a bustling corridor led to a window that looked inward towards the courtyard and the other school levels. Five towers surrounded it. Four were regular dragon towers, with multiple levels open to the air and pavilions on top. There are several levels of gardens where dragons gather to socialize before the beginning of school. There are also places for future-seeing NightWings to practice making prophecies.

North Beach is an expanse of rocky and pebbled beach at the north end of the Night Kingdom peninsula, unlike the southern shores' smooth sandy beaches. It faced a bay with the Kingdom of Sand on the far side, just out of dragon eyesight but close enough that most NightWings avoided it. There are giant boulders strewn on the beach. It has also been noted that dragons have practiced swimming there.

## History

The Jade Mountain Prophecy, *Moon Rising*: The lost city of night was mentioned when Moon delivered the Jade Mountain Prophecy. This prophecy contained the lines: *"Jade Mountain will fall beneath thunder and ice Unless the lost city of night can be found."*

*Winter Turning*: The lost city of night was mentioned again in the Jade Mountain Prophecy when Moonwatcher said: *"Jade Mountain will fall beneath thunder and ice Unless the lost city of night can be found."* It was also mentioned a couple of times throughout the book, including when the Jade Winglet visited the Night Kingdom's ruins, mistakenly believing it was the lost city of night.

*Talons of Power*: While Maverick led the NightWings to the lost city of night, he flew ahead when the other NightWings slept. Turtle stealthily followed him. Maverick flew into the NightWings' old school when he reached the kingdom. While under his invisibility spell, Turtle places a marble he had found in front of Darkstalker, involving Maverick to believe that Nightmare is still alive and trying to tell him something.

*Darkness of Dragons*: The lost city of night was the setting of part of the book. In the city, the Jade Winglet rescued Turtle from Darkstalker and learned that the NightWings were about to start a war against the IceWings. The Jade Winglet then hurried back to Jade Mountain.  Most of the NightWings who had moved to the city returned to the rainforest, and while Queen Glory was forming a team to study the ruins, it could have been a better place to live.

Legends: Maverick took Nightmare to The lost city of night, home to the two NightWing protagonists, Maverick and Nightmare. The NightWing tribe flees the kingdom under Clearsight's warning about Maverick.

* The Night Kingdom shrank due to Darkstalker's magic. Foeslayer stated that the Night Kingdom was protected by an "unbeatable" air defense team. Lower-ranking NightWings lived at the bottom of the Night Kingdom, while upper-ranking NightWings lived in the higher parts of the kingdom, which was closer to the stars.
