The Mud Kingdom is the home of the MudWings. The environment is that of a swamp or marshland, with many small streams and rivers, along with more than a few mud puddles. MudWings sleep in large mud bunkhouses, that are usually home to a group of siblings. It has thick, condensed air and the main villages seems to be rivers and deltas. The Mud Kingdom is on the eastern side of Pyrrhia, near the ocean.
Diamond Spray Delta
The Diamond Spray Delta is located at the base of the Diamond Spray River, where the river lets out into the sea. This is where the lowest born MudWings live, and it has many sleephouses and bunkhouses for troops, as the army constantly passes through here, due to its proximity to the Sky Kingdom and Kingdom of the Sea. The coastal area only has a small strip of pebbles before dropping into the ocean. Some areas have forests of deciduous trees. The Delta itself is the border of the Mud and Sky Kingdoms.
Winding Tail River
The Winding Tail River flows from the top of the Claws of the Clouds Mountain and into the sea. It runs past Jade Mountain and is located near the Rainforest Kingdom. Around one of the bends in the river is what is believed to be the largest scavenger den in Pyrrhia. The river is surrounded by mountains and forests and has a more concrete shore than the Diamond Spray Delta. There are tiny fish found throughout the river and the prey there is rumored to be much easier to catch than in other areas.
MudWing Village
Unlike the RainWings and SkyWings, MudWings live throughout their territory, with no single village. The MudWing palace is the largest home and houses the most dragons, along with having the largest city based around it. Most MudWings live together in bunkhouses with their siblings and are situated in small villages around muddy areas near rivers, such as Winding Tail or Diamond Spray. They aren't a very community-based tribe, deciding instead to focus on siblings than the tribe as a whole, though those who have lost members of their family, may live with other broken groups. Each bunkhouse appears to be about the same shape as a termite mound, and the dragons who live inside treat it only as a place to sleep.
Other Locations
The Queens Palace is a large palatial construct home to the queen and her siblings. It is located near the turn in the Winding Tail River. Nearby the Palace is the Queens Lake, a private lake that only the queen is allowed to swim in.
Society
MudWings are a sibling oriented tribe, being raised by their 'sibs' and living and fighting with them for the rest of their lives. Sibs are a group of siblings all hatched at the same time. The first hatched is the Bigwings, the largest and the leader of the group. They dedicate their lives protecting their other siblings, acting as the parents to their sibs. Parents do not raise their children, instead, they are raised by the Bigwings of the family. Parents do not usually stay together after breeding, simply having a pairing night once a month instead.
Neither parent will assist in the raising of theor children, and the partners will usually not know one another or their children well, if at all. MudWing eggs are laid in well protected bunkhouses, where they are warmed by the mud walls and heated rocks as incubation. Eggs are left alone and most often there are no adults nearby during hatching. When the Bigwings hatches, they help their siblings out of their eggs.
MudWing groups are known as sibs, or troops, with the Bigwings as the leader and caretaker. Sibs love and care for each other with unbroken loyalty. It is completely unheard of for one sib to betray the others and the thought never touches their minds. When a sibling is killed or lost a troop may take in a troopless MudWing who is known as an "unsib." A group of unsibs may band together to form their own group.

Names in the MudWing tribe are usually based off of their swampy environment, (Swamp, Squelch, Puddle) animals in the swamp, (Crane, Crocodile, Pheasant) or earthy names (Clay, Ochre)
