Tommy B's Dragon Land
Firecicle Island
Please use caution while visiting Tommy B's Dragon Land, as much of the park is still under construction. Some weird magic going on - don't get turned into a vaudeville act or nuthin!
Welcome to Firecicle Island.
Please forgive the awkward name - this island has been awkward, lately!
The moment our dear visitors warp in to Firecicle Island, they are greeting with the seriously strange sight of a stunning juxtaposition (sorry - just flexing): frozen lakes and snow-covered trees alongside steaming pools of molten lava! And the air just hums with magical energies.
Tommy B sourced this island from a chilly arctic wilderness, enjoying the dense purity of its dark basalt bedrock. He magicked it here to the Dragon Land, and because he did not wish to change its natural personality, he left it cold and arctic. It seemed the perfect place to build some nice cold-element dragon habitats, which he did! It was beautifully landscaped with leaning fir trees which bore fresh snow year 'round, a little igloo hut to hide some park mechanical machinery, and most beautiful of all was the wide expanse of gleaming cold white marble surrounding each habitat.
Unbeknownst to our founding wizard, however, the slab of basalt he'd plopped in the sky contained the very tippy top tip of a long-dormant hotspot - a vein of magma that had yet to push up through the bedrock to form any volcanos. That is, until recently!
Now, visitors to Firecicle Island are treated to a study in opposites. When the magma finally pushed up through the bedrock of the island, it formed a dwarf volcano almost precisely in the island's center, and smaller effusions surfaced round about the place. Much of the snow covering the island melted before Tommy B ingeniously took advantage of what seemed to be a disaster. At the time, he was quoted as saying, "I saw sumpin' like this on some Birdie Guy's island once."
Now, the cold habitats are magicked to remain cold - to the delight of the many varied cold-element dragons to be found here. And the intense heat of the fire habitats is likewise kept in check.
Populating the island are a few cold dragons of various sorts. It is currently home also to a number of very rare dragons who have been put in the fire habitats temporarily, during the park's reshuffle.
This is an ideal time to visit Firecicle Island, because you will not see such a concentration of rare dragons any time soon anywhere else! The long list of special dragons includes three sweet Love Dragons named Tiffany, Vampi, and Rachb. Come and feed them roses or violets!
Also temporarily houses on Firecicle Island are four majestic Panlong Dagons, all brought in at great pains from the exotic far east. They have fondly been named Khammyr, FletchSmf, TroutGuy, and Hazzarrd. More suitable demesnes will be found for these in the near future - Tommy B is currently sourcing suitable stone to summon for a new island.
Visitors to Firecicle Island are urged to caution. In order to avoid superheated mud gulps, please stay on the paths! Some of the original marble remains, but elsewhere a circuitboard pattern of golden paths has been laid down and magicked to be completely safe from eruptions. From the warp-in point, you will see a small frozen pond to the right, and a larger ahead and to the left, where various cold dragons frolic, bounce and slide. The Crystal Dragon has even been known to form his crystalline scales into skates to perform lazy (and slightly ugly) figure eights on the ice!
Stay on the gold paths, but feel free to visit the three fire habitats, too. There is a small gift shop on Firecicle Island, which has been decorated to match the volcano colors.
Continuing on brings us to a pair of marble eggs in the island's middle. This was once part of a more elaborate centerpiece, but the volcano's arrival changed much of the island, and these eggs have been left to remember what once was.
On the island's western edge, the greatest section of the original marble tableau, with carefully-tended beds of roses as beautiful borders. You see, this path once led from the now-destroyed centerpiece of the island (something about eros and eggs and dragons and other things that perhaps weren't altogether age-appropriate, of which only the two marble eggs remain), down between the beds of romantic roses, toward the Epic Breeding Island. Originally, young dragons would pair off, after much batting of eyelids and smashing of each other playfully in the face with spiked tails, become, well, fecund looking at the now-destroyed centerpiece, and be ushered down the path of roses towards what Tommy B hoped would be some epic breeding.
So, come one and all to Tommy B's Dragon Land's Firecicle Island, a study in opposites, thinly-obfuscated innuendos, some fantastically rare dragons, and enjoy the park! Stop a the gift shop for a memento of your visit. Although the volcano has really shaken things up, and perhaps detracted from the island's prior grandeur, at least the magma has warmed the ground enough so that the wishing well now works ...
