Possibility:
Possibility has grown over the years and has become a popular place for dragons of all tribes to visit despite the ongoing war, since the Skywing Queens have become unpredictable and even aggressive to the other tribes their waring august, Monarch Glasstail has become the main dragon who keeps an eye on the dragons there and making sure no battles are ever fought in or near the town.
