Dragon Realms

The Dragon Realms

The Dragon Realms is the homeworld of Modern Spyro, Cynder, Sparx, Malefor, Gaul, Dark Cynder, Chronicler, and the Dragon Guardians. It is a sister-twin world of the Original Spyro world with Red the Evil Dragon, the Sorceress, Ripto, and Gnasty Gnorc, and the Old Spyro. This world plays a major role as the home of the Dragon Guardian Temple, the hideout and home of the Shell Lodge Squad, Kairi, and a few others. It is a world where the dominant species is dragons, which come in several breeds that each use a potential magic breath. It was once a medieval fantasy world until the damage done by Malefor left it to undergo reconstruction for years with the help of Spyro, Cynder, and their allies. Though even with their power, and with the Second Cartoonian War in it's prime following the corruption of Cynder and the disappearance of Spyro and Sparx, it was starting to become difficult. However, things changed following the war's end when UUniversal settlers and explorers arrived during the UUniversal Crusades to aid them. Now, the Dragon Realms has become similar to Earth. There are major Earth cities like New York City, Rome, Paris, Tokyo, and Las Vegas, and even old cities were rebuilt. This may've proved the theories of the Great Cleansing since it indeed created a new world after issuing destruction, technically meaning that Malefor won, but not in the way he thought. Places like Warfang, the Valley of Avalar, the White Isle, the Catacombs, and Twilight Falls have either been reformed thanks to Spyro following Malefor's defeat or rebuilt by UUniversal settlers. 21st Century modernization had become common in the Dragon Realms as well. While the world still remained dominated by dragons, the settlers began living there as a reward for helping rebuild civilization.

Locations

(Map coming soon...) The map of the Dragon Realms is like that of Earth, except it has a different but similar appearance. The continents have nearly-similar shapes, and there are much different islands than Earth. The Pacific Ocean has much more islands in it, there are islands on the North Pole that are too inhospitable for colonizing. There are also several flying islands and volcanic wastelands that are the result of the devastation of the attempted Great Cleansing.

Prime Locations

The prime locations of the Dragon Realms, known in the games, since Malefor split the world apart, now occupies certain areas in what one would recognize as the Northeast-Eastern United States. These locations are still recognizable even after the world's reconstruction.

• Dragon Guardian Temple- The Dragon Temple is the home temple of the Dragon Guardians that was thankfully preserved during Malefor's second reign. It now rests somewhere in the swamps near DR New York and serves as the home of the Shell Lodge Squad.
• Warfang- A city that Spyro and Cynder protected during Malefor's second reign and was partially destroyed by the Earth Golem. It was almost destroyed during Malefor's Great Cleansing attempt, yet was preserved, and rebuilt in DR New Jersey just south of the neighboring New York City, possibly neighboring Hoboken. It's reconstruction with help from UUniversal settlers gave it modern-day architecture and technology, and even a stronger military. It now houses several monuments such as a massive arena severel acres long, and the now-famous Power Tower, a great Lord of the Rings-like tower that provides all of the power in the Dragon Realms, in thanks to the Lightning Dragon genius Professor Asland Zappington.
• Valley of Avalar- The homeland of Hunter (Legend of Spyro variant) and his tribe. This valley had split apart during Malefor's Great Cleansing attempt, and was thankfully restored and now rests somewhere in DR Pennsylvania.
• Twilight Falls- This area was known to be a beautiful landmark before it's destruction during Malefor's Great Cleansing attempt. It was eventually restored by Spyro, and now it resides somewhere in upper DR Virginia.
• White Isle- The home of the Chronicler which was lifted from it's place during Malefor's Great Cleansing attempt until it was rested somewhere across the Dragon Realms Manhattan.
• Convexity- A magical realm which was the banishment site of Malefor, and had constant anomalies that allowed passage into the Banished Realms, making it restricted by the High Council.
• Catacombs- The place where Spyro and Cynder first escaped the Earth Golem. These underground tunnels were, for an unknown reason, preserved even after Malefor tore the world apart. It now resides far in DR Kentucky, and remains a national monument.
• Dragon Dam- A dam that Spyro and Cynder intended to use to slow the progress of the Destroyer with no success. It was preserved and restored by Spyro, and is now in the exact location of, and filling the job of, the Croton Dam, bordering the Croton River and the Hudson.
• Boyzitbig- An unstable volcano where a mole friend of Spyro used to live and where he first discovered how to use his earth ability. When Malefor broke up the world, this volcano suffered massive and powerful tectonic chaos, and now it is a normal volcano which hasn't erupted once since the Dragon Realms was restored. It rests somewhere in DR Georgia now.

Other Locations

Certain details of the Dragon Realms have been left unspecified due to the end of the Legend of Spyro saga. Some of these lands are based off of those of the original series, also being affected by the reign of Malefor, and is not part of the prime area of the Dragon Realms.

It is where Spyro first discovered his electric ability, and it's where he rescued Volteer. Ever since Malefor's reign, it is now a restricted area since it is still under the command of the evil Ice King (Legend of Spyro). It is also, oddly enough, where frozen prehistoric creatures from the Dragon Realms' prehistoric days can be discovered, which are surprisingly kept alive by magic snow.
  • Ice King's Fortress- The home of the evil Ice King who remained in his territory following Spyro defeating him. This place remains a restricted area.
  • Dante's Glacier- A glacier which is known for containing preserved forms of prehistoric life from long ago, keeping them alive through the location's massive amounts of magic-rich snow. This is where Tiki and Bloodjaw were found.

Populated entirely by primates of all kinds, it is an agricultural settlement and supplies all of Africa with it's food supplies, particularly bananas. This land wasn't affected that much by Malefor's reign, and the lava flows only made the ground more rich in sediment, making the growing plants grow bigger than normal, and therefore accelerating the agricultural industry the primates had.
