Burned Lands

Template:PlaceLegendThe Burned Lands is a large, desolate wasteland that surrounds the ground level of Malefor's Lair in The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon. It is where Spyro and Cynder lost Ignitus to the dark power of the Belt of Fire when they tried to cross it. The Burned Lands is also an ambush area for enemies Spyro and Cynder have faced before, as they attempt to stop the two dragons from reaching Malefor.

Story

Before the events of The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon, Malefor attacked the city of Warfang, tearing its temple and surrounding city structures from the ground with his dark magic and suspend them above the land as a symbol of his dominance. This caused the ravaged area of Warfang to become a fiery wasteland dotted with mini volcanoes and streamed with lava, causing the city inhabitants to move far from the now Burned Lands and build a new wall to separate them from Malefor's forces.

After failing to stop the Destroyer, Ignitus escorted Spyro and Cynder to the Belt of Fire to confront Malefor. When they attempted to cross through it, the dark power of the Belt of Fire began to overwhelm Ignitus' barrier that protected them from the heat. As he struggled to keep the barrier around them up, Ignitus apologized to both Spyro and Cynder for everything that had happened to them by his failures. Sacrificing himself, he threw Spyro and Cynder through the fire; his death having a deep, almost devastating impact on Spyro. Saddened by his mentor's fate, Spyro continued on his journey to Malefor's Lair along with Cynder, who comforted him that he wasn't alone.
