The Viper Pit

The Viper Pit is a place full of dragon criminals who wished to hide from their queens. It's 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 there is an oasis in the center of the town. 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. Dragonets were always racing around alleyways scrapping and shouting and tussling over trinkets or prey. Occasionally, dragonets bet on small games, like how long a mouse would last against a cat, etc. 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. Some dragons marked their territory, and dragonets boldly imitated them. The cobblestone streets are lined with gutters, and dragons are often lying within them.
