The 'RainWing village' is a collection of homes and buildings within the
Rainforest Kingdom. It is home to most of the RainWings and sits next to
the NightWing village.

## Description

The village consists of treehouses, fruits, platforms, hammocks, and
trees. The roofs of the houses are made of leaves, making it harder to
see the houses from the top. Wide vine walkways, shimmering with
talon-sized orange orchids, hung between platforms covered with
overlapping leaves, lay out to look like one giant leaf. A few of the
treehouses have low walls or woven ceilings; others are open to the sky
and carpeted with soft white flowers. Golden sunlight slants sideways
throught tall green trees. Gray sloths amble and swing between the
walkways, and hammocks are strung between trees, sturdily woven of vines
and lined with violet feathers and blue petals. There is a trampoline of
vines in between two platforms, where dragonets bounce and flap their
wings as they learn to fly. RainWings are usually found standing on the
trees. RainWings use flowers for decorations the way other tribes use
jewels and precious stones. One of the best places for sun time is a
platform built right above the treetops, with no leaves between it and
the sky. The surface dips in the center and is lined with cloud-soft
pink blossoms, growing along the vines that were woven around the wood.

The village has three hatcheries, with each hatchery holding a third of
the village's eggs. The eggs are mixed together and dragonets are raised
by the whole village, making it hard to find out whether one is related
to another, unless they do a venom test. One hatchery is shaped like a
gigantic green egg, with holes all over the roof that allowed sunlight
through the overlapping leaves. The bottom is reinforced with tightly
woven vines and sturdy branches, and the eggs closest to hatching are
kept on the outer edge. Inside the hatchery are the eggs of every
RainWing in the tribe. Jambu explained that they do this to ensure that
the eggs keep each other warm and hatch whenever they need to. Before
Queen Glory's reign, they would not count or track their eggs, only
stopping by to check for newly hatched eggs every once in a while. These
dragonets would be raised by the tribe, everyone pitching in a bit to
help. Glory aspired to change this when she became queen so that no more
eggs would ever go lost again.

There is a large treehouse that houses the queen. It is not so different
from all the other treehouses, although it is a bit higher and closer to
the sun, with an open roof and five giant open windows in the curved
outside walls. A short hanging walkway, where dragons line up for
meetings with the queen, glowed with fuchsia flowers shaped like dragon
tongues. The walkway leads from a doorway to another dragon platform and
to the queen's room, where a curtain of silvery yellow flowers that
smells of honey and vanilla hung in the doorway. Lacy scarlet flowers
and scraps of russet monkey fur make up the queen's nest. There is a
royal garden that Tamarin, who was one of the gardeners, took care of.
The queen sleeps in a royal treehouse that is surrounded by eerie,
glow-in-the-dark moths and pale night orchids.

Around twelve tree lodges down from the queen's treehouse sits the
RainWing healer's pavilion|healer's pavilion. Red berries grow in its
balcony. The hut is close to the sunning platform with skylights shining
through its leafy roofs. Their houses are made in the trees with leaves
as windows and the trees as a natural wall.

At the center of the village is a structure called the Arboretum, which
resembles a peaceful version of the SkyWing palace|SkyWing arena. The
Arboretum has a huge platform made from woven branches, which is
surrounded by more treehouses, some of which have been set up as fruit
stands. It is unknown what the Arboretum was used for historically, but
in the modern day, it is where many public events take place, such as
the Dragon royalty#RainWing Royal Challenge|RainWing Royal Challenge.
