The 'Kingdom of the Sea' is the home of the SeaWings. It is mostly made
up of small islands forming an archipelago called the Bay of a Thousand
Scales. It holds two palaces; the Deep Palace and the destroyed Summer
Palace, and once had the Island Palace in the time of Darkstalker. As of the end of Darkness of Dragons, another
palace is under construction. It is currently under the rule of Queen
Coral.

## Description

The Kingdom of the Sea is mainly aquamarine and blue-green expanses of
ocean, with speckled-sand beaches, white beaches, tall sea cliffs,
caverns, underwater boulders, coral reefs, kelp forests, underwater
caves, sandy bottoms, peninsulas, and deep trenches. Rocky, sandy, or
tropical wooded islands are spread out throughout the kingdom. The
climate is warm, tropical, and rainy, and smells like wild, salty sea
air. Some of the beaches are lined with dark foliage, and mountains are
visible in the distance. On the border with the Sky Kingdom, there are
sea cliffs, and the water is presumably colder in that area. The border
with the Mud Kingdom is a sandy beach separating the sea from an area of
forest. It contains several jungles above water, and near the Deep
Palace, there are lines of canyons and trenches.

## Notable features

### Bay of a Thousand Scales

The Bay of a Thousand Scales is a spiral collection of islands that make
up the "tail" of Pyrrhia. It is said to have thousands of them, hence
the name The Bay of a Thousand Scales, making it easy to hide the Summer
Palace under a vast canopy. It is a part of the Kingdom of the Sea and
is therefore ruled by Coral. Riptide meets the dragonets of destiny in
the Bay of a Thousand Scales. Blister's hideout was also located here
and is mentioned to be spread across several islands to avoid an attack
on the whole army. At the end of Darkness of Dragons, Coral's letter to
Turtle said that she was planning to make a reading area on one of the
islands and was going to make a palace open to all dragons from every
tribe.

### Summer Palace

The Summer Palace was created by a SeaWing prince named Albatross around
3,011 AS. Albatross grew the twelve-story pavilion out of blue-tinted
stone before losing his mind and causing the Royal SeaWing Massacre at
the now-abandoned Island Palace. More recently, the Summer Palace was
reconfigured for Blister and the SandWings to visit more easily. A
canopy hides the Summer Palace, so no other dragon tribe had been able to locate it until the events of The Lost Heir. The
idea of camouflaging the palace with plants was Fathom's idea, as
mentioned in Darkstalker.

At the end of The Lost Heir, the Summer Palace was discovered by the
SkyWings and MudWings after Crocodile secretly followed Webs to the
palace. Burn's alliance launched an attack that destroyed the palace,
resulting in the SeaWings fleeing to the Deep Palace, where they stayed
for the remaining duration of the war. Blister and her army sent
messengers to the ruins to see any sign of her ally.

### Deep Palace

The Deep Palace is home to the Deep Palace#Royal Hatchery|Royal
Hatchery and is the Royal SeaWing family's main headquarters. The palace
is built underwater out of coral and stone, in the middle of a canyon.
The SeaWings prefer the Deep Palace because it is deep underwater and
impossible to reach, stay in, or be attacked by the other dragon tribes.
There was a Orca's statue|statue of Orca with her talons outstretched
benevolently in the front entrance of the Royal Hatchery. The statue was
later destroyed when Tsunami discovered it was the mysterious assassin
that murdered most of Coral's daughters. One of the palace's wings had
been set aside for princes, as they were not targeted by the statue.

### Island Palace

The only known function of the Island Palace was to host parties for
ambassadors, shown in Darkstalker. On the map, the Island Palace appears
to be slightly north of the Summer Palace. After the Royal SeaWing
Massacre, the SeaWings mostly abandoned it, as many dragons were
disturbed by the palace, thinking it was haunted. However, they still
used it for the Talons of Power ceremony where they found animus dragons. During Talons of Power, it was the
location that Anemone fought Turtle. In the epilogue of Talons of Power,
Darkstalker cast a spell to haunt the Island Palace, leading to the
SeaWings thinking that the spirit of Albatross had returned, this time
to destroy all the SeaWings for good. In the epilogue of Darkness of
Dragons, Turtle reads a letter from Queen Coral, revealing that Turtle
had successfully cast a spell to eliminate Darkstalker's fake Albatross
ghost from the Island Palace and anywhere else on Pyrrhia.

## History

### The Dragonet Prophecy

#### The Lost Heir

Tsunami and the other dragonets of destiny traveled to the Kingdom of
the Sea to escape Scarlet and Burn, but to also see Coral and Blister.
They stayed in the Summer Palace until it was destroyed by the SkyWings
and MudWings. Tsunami helped find the assassin that killed all of
Coral's daughters, which turned out to be Orca's statue in the Deep
Palace's royal hatchery.

-----

### The Jade Mountain Prophecy

#### Talons of Power

In Turtle's flashbacks, the Talons of Power Ceremony is held in the
Island Palace. Turtle later journeys to the Deep Palace, located deep in
the oceans of the Kingdom, to warn Coral about Anemone; he later fights
Anemone at the Island Palace. It is revealed in the epilogue that
Darkstalker sent a spell to the Island Palace, to make the SeaWings
believe that Albatross's spirit had come to destroy all the SeaWings for
good.

#### Darkness of Dragons

Coral mentioned that Turtle's spell to eliminate the fake Albatross
ghost from the Island Palace had worked in her letter to him. She also
mentioned that she was planning to build a new palace open to all tribes
that will feature an auditorium for dragons to listen to her stories.

-----

### Legends

#### Darkstalker

All chapters in Part One in Fathom's point of view are set in the
Kingdom of the Sea, where eventually the Royal SeaWing Massacre
occurred. Due to the massacre, shoreline villages disputed between the
SkyWings and SeaWings were abruptly removed.

-----

### Field Guides

#### A Guide to the Dragon World

The Kingdom of the Sea was featured several times in the SeaWing chapter
of the guide. It is mentioned in Coral's opening letter to Starflight,
along with her scroll about the War of SandWing Succession.
Additionally, several of Coral's scrolls were set in within the Kingdom
of the Sea.

## Trivia

  - The Kingdom of the Sea is known to experience hurricanes.
  - The Deep Palace and the Summer Palace were both well hidden. The
    Deep Palace was not shown on the map of Pyrrhia until A Guide to the
    Dragon World and The Summer Palace was only shown on the map in Moon     Rising (book)|Moon Rising after Burn's army of SkyWings attacked it
    and burned it down.
