Crimson the NightWing

Can you list every plot point in Wings of Fire? Yes? In that case, welcome to the cult!

Okay so I just discovered that Ruby misspelled "much" as "mucah" in Guide to the Dragon World and I hate everything send help

RainWings? Assassins? Those two don't go together...

Sooooo, Queen Anaconda of the RainWings was challenged and beaten by Queen Jacaranda quite a long time ago. This led to changes — and lots of them.

According to A Guide to the Dragon World, RainWings used to be feared by all the tribes — complete with armies and assassins. Everyone knew about their venom. They went to wars with other tribes. (And, referencing to another article in the RainWing section, dragons were challenging for the throne extremely often, to the point that it endangered the tribe!)

Let's face it: During and before the reign of Anaconda, RainWings were fearsome warriors to the core; even more than NightWings had been at the time.

BUT... Queen Jacaranda changed this by shutting down assassin training, banning the weaponized use of venom, and disassembling entire armies. (She also started the sloth-pet trend, the sun time trend, and very possibly the vegetarianism trend.) Eventually, the tribe got to where it was now; every RainWing sleeping during sun time and being a vegetarian.

Why do you think she did this? Laziness, compassion, fear of other tribes, a strive for change, or another mysterious reason? And why do you think they stopped using scrolls?

I really hope that a future Legends book or Winglets book about Jacaranda will be published and will answer some of these questions.

I don't feel like I have emphasized this point enough, the RainWings are the most overpowered tribe by default

in a Q/A with Tui, she stated that blood moons affect a nightwing's powers, allowing seers to see terrible events/disasters clearly and allowing mind readers to project their thoughts onto any dragon (not just other mind readers)

i thought this was a really cool detail, and i'm hoping that it's used in the books somewhere

here are two sisters born under a blood moon, one a mind reader and the other a seer. i imagine the mind reader uses telepathy to comfort her sister as she foresees troubling futures

My OC, Crimson, actually is inspired by that exact interview as well; he has the powers of mind reading, mind projection, and negative prophecy. However, Crimson also has the canon-confirmed dark red scales and lighter red underscales to compliment the powers.

I felt like making a headcanon so here goes nothing

You know how Peril was forced to eat "black rocks" for a long time? I think they are normal charcoals or coals, but they enhanced her firescales ability.

Think about it; since she was forced to eat black rocks for nearly eight years of her life, of course they wouldn't wear off for a while. I think that when they finally wear off, she might be able to control her firescales, like she can control her fire breathing.

Tell me what you think, I'd love to hear your opinions!

About Scavengers in WoF

Tui, on multiple occasions, has hinted in the books that dragons have called humans "scavengers" in Wings of Fire since the Scorching. So, that being said, how would they know what the word "humans" meant?

Wren introduced the word "humans" to Snowfall and the other dragons in The Dangerous Gift. At that time, nobody knew the word "humans" at all or what it meant. The only times that the word had ever been referenced were in the humans' language. And, from what I can tell, the humans' language is completely different from the dragons' language.

So, how did the word "humans" come into play? Did Wren just make up the word, so humans would sound less like prey or mindless animals? Or, was it a word that had been spoken before, like a scientific name that a dragon like Mastermind uses, and Wren just recovered it? It's very confusing.

Somehow, though, the dragons accept the word easily. It is spoken freely in the last chapters of The Dangerous Gift and throughout the whole book in The Flames of Hope. Wren's letter in A Guide to the Dragon World also says that the humans prefer being called "humans" over being called "scavengers" (and I personally agree).
