RainWings and LeafWings are indeed related dragon tribes within the expansive Wings of Fire universe, a connection rooted in ancient history and migrations.
The Historical Connection
The relationship between RainWings and LeafWings is primarily established through their shared history and geographical ties. It is known that RainWings traveled to Pantala in the past, the continent where LeafWings originated and historically thrived. This ancient migration likely forms the basis of their familial or ancestral link, suggesting a common lineage or a significant interaction that led to their recognized relation. While the exact details of this ancestral line are part of the deep lore, the fact of their relation and the historical journey of RainWings to Pantala are key to understanding their connection.
LeafWing Dominance on Pantala
For a considerable period, LeafWings were the dominant dragon tribe on Pantala. This era of their supremacy pre-dated the arrival of Clearsight, a historical figure central to many significant events in the Wings of Fire series. Their long-standing presence and power on Pantala provide context to their unique evolution and culture, further differentiating them from their distant RainWing relatives while still acknowledging their shared background.
