The Fire Cave is a cave of volcanoes and lava. It serves as the crew compound of the Dragon Flares crew led by Pyrrah since their dragons can withstand the heat. It was introduced in Episode 3: Into the Fire.
Location[]
The Cave is located atop a hillock in the Wastelands of Loan deep beyond the Gold Dragon Temple, as revealed by Mortis in Episode 3: Into the Fire.
Exterior[]
A meandering road surrounded by sharp rocks leads to the pillared entrance to the Cave, which is marked by two dragon busts with lava flowing out of their mouths.
Interior[]
As one enters the Cave, they get to see warnings and signboards probably put up the Dragon Flares crew. At the end of the entryway is located a large pool of lava spewing noxious fumes, with a huge, glowing volcano at its centre. A narrow path on the left leads to the Dragon Flares' lounge area.
The lounge area, strewn with fire-fountains, is decorated with lights and signboards. The crew members generally sit on a flight of stairs that leads deeper into the Cave. The lounge area is connected to a precarious race-track that loops around the Cave and goes over its many pools of lava before terminating at a far gate.
The ceiling of the Cave is jagged and dominated by rock-columns suspended from the roof.
History[]
It appears that the Fire Cave is regularly used to host races.
In Episode 3: Into the Fire, Pyrrah (then under Word Paynn's mind control) kidnapped Lance and called Artha to the Cave to trade information about the Gold Dragon of Legend in exchange. Artha challenged Pyrrah to a race through the cave but lost as he was distracted in saving her little brother, Sparkk. The episode ends with Artha dunking her mind-control pod in a pool of lava and liberating her from Word's control.
Trivia[]
- The first reference to the Cave in the show was made by Kitt Wonn, appearing for the auditions for Beau's rider at Penn Stables in the pilot episode, when she talks about defeating the other auditionees in a race in the cave.
