This is where the Gold, Copper, or Violet dragons will come to lay their clutch. The sands are extremely warm, and uncomfortable to walk on without thick wherry-hide boots. The sands keep the eggs warm if the Queen or other egg-laying dragons need to leave for a short time to either bathe or eat, although Queen's rarely ever leave their eggs. A bronze, the one that flew the Queen, normally brings her food to keep her healthy for the hatching. The Violet and Copper dragons aren't so cautious, and will leave the Hatching Grounds to bathe and eat should they need to.
