The 'NightWing school' was a school NightWing dragonets attended during the time of Darkstalker. It was very sophisticated
and housed dragonets from ages one and up. It was abandoned when the
NightWings left their Lost city of night|kingdom in 3,012 AS.

## Description

The 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 had three entrances, and the quietest and
least crowded was located on a side facing away from the NightWing
palace. Its floors were made of marble tiles. The upper entrance led to
a hallway covered with student projects and artwork. The hall led to
some classrooms.

It contained a library, as well as a vast hexagonal courtyard that was
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 contained vines with
heart-shaped leaves, pine trees, outdoor tables, and puddles.

There was a long waterfall that leads to a pavilion on an upper level to
the main office, occupied by Professor Truthfinder. The office contained
a desk and piles of paper.

Past the main office, there was a bustling corridor leading to a window
that looked inward, towards the courtyard and the other levels of the
school. It was surrounded by five towers. Four of these were regular
dragon towers, with multiple levels open to the air and with pavilions
on top. There were several levels of gardens where dragons gathered to
socialize before the beginning of school. Tamarin monkeys and crocodiles
were also kept in the classrooms.

## Notable features

### Arboretum

The arboretum was a damp, leafy space where the last rays of sunshine
poured through the skylights, with plants lining the room. A colonnade
led from the arboretum past the library into a school courtyard.

### Tower of Knowledge

The Tower of Knowledge hosted an early class, so it was typically
covered in partial sunlight. Its classroom was circular, with curved
walls, containing no windows or doors. The walls were impenetrable cold
black marble, sparkling with flecks of silver and copper, and hung with
mirrors that caught the fading light. The room had no roof and was
completely open to the sky, with only a tip of a mountain within sight.
It was the most centered of the four NightWing towers, and at first
glance, it did not seem to have an interior, as it was hung all about
with ivy and vines that cascaded down through levels of gardens. The top
of it was so shrouded in greenery that it was difficult to tell whether
there was a room inside. Its floors are made of cold marble and there is
a large slate board adorning one wall, with chalk to write on it.

### Room 3A

Room 3A was a beautiful classroom, airy and full of light, with plants
and small water features everywhere. There was a large glass cage within
the classroom, containing two female scavengers, piles of grass, and a
water dish. There was a puzzle spread across one long table in a corner
of the room, with a schedule of the day pinned to one wall.

## History

## Trivia

  - When a dragonet started late, they must fill out scrolls and take
    tests to prove that they can be with their age group, instead of
    starting with the one-year olds. However, Clearsight is the only one
    known to do this.
