Scalding sands cradle Dragon eggs to warm their fiery midst, and have indents all year round from where the last clutch was lain. Every shard of every egg has been eagerly picked up by Dragon Impressing Hopefuls, as they are considered a good omen of impressing. When female Dragons Clutch, this is where the eggs will be deposited to harden on the sands until the day when they tumble out of their shells to greet their life-mates. There are 50 large Hatching Sands that are large enough to hold 50 Regular Queen Dragons, their spectators, their Candidates, and their clutches without squabbling there are 50 times smaller than the Main Dragon Hatching Sands
