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 (book)|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.
