Hatching Sands

The only place in the Weyr, save the Weyrbowl, to outsize the dining hall, the Hatching Sands are truly massive. A gigantic cavern by most standards, it stretches high enough that a skilled dragon could circle above and even -possibly- Between. Around the outskirts are the stands, and above them are stone ledges where the dragons of the Weyr will perch to watch. Entrances to the Sands are mostly through the connecting weyrs of the Toxins, the openings fitted into the stands. There is another walk-through tunnel though for candidates and the new weyrlings, as well as a few tunnels in the ceiling through which some dragons of the Weyr will drop and then glide down from. The Sands themselves are not scalding, in fact they are remarkably cold. Up to five very friendly Toxins may occupy the Sands at a time, though generally no more than two or three will be seen clutching together.
