Hatching Grounds

The hatching grounds are deep within the thickest part of the mountain, connected to the main Weyr by tunnels and staircases, and to the sky by a wide dragon tunnel whose entrance is near the very top of the mountain. The arena is circular and the walls taper down to the center covered in benches for spectators. The center of the large room is partially walled off and covered in sand, kept warm by a hot spot of magma under the mountain. Up in the dome of the Hatching Grounds large perches are carved out for even the biggest of Rocky Weyrs dragons.
