History/lore - The Scorpion Den is a sprawling, walled city with winding alleyways and run-down stone buildings. The dusty streets are filled with rickety stalls and tents, most of which sell different types of merchandise. Almost every other stall sells water or brightsting cactus, the only known antidote to SandWing venom. The streets are dusty, crowded, and tight, as Sunny discovered when she tried walking through them with Six-Claws on her way to Thorn's tent. There is an oasis in the center of the town guarded by the Outclaws, in which young dragonets up to eight years can visit every morning for free meals. It is mainly inhabited by SandWings; however, Sunny spotted a couple of SkyWings and an IceWing, whom she notes must have been miserable in the heat.
It contains several taverns, fortune-teller tents, lamp stores, streets, courtyards, and buckets of sand hanging from every wall as an easy means of putting out potential fires. It included hundreds of narrow alleyways that sometimes lead to dead ends. It has been described to feel dark, crowded, and trapped. The town has several entrances composed of gates, which lead into a street lined with stalls, most of which are closed until morning. Morning scents drift from those that are open, roasting beetles and coffee mixing with the many, many much less pleasant smells in the air. The cobblestone streets are lined with gutters, and dragons are often lying within them.
