Dragondens of Fourth Wing

Black

Description

Known for being the rarest type of dragon, Black Dragons are unmatched in intelligence, discernment, and cunning. So cunning, in fact, that outsmarting them is impossible. While it was once believed none had been born in the last century, two hatchlings were recently discovered in Aretia. Descending from the cunning Dubhmadinn line, notable Black Dragons include Codagh (black swordtail) and Tairn (black morningstartail).

Blue

Description

Known for their striking sapphire and navy hues, Blue Dragons are renowned for their immense size and ruthless nature. The Blue Daggertail, the rarest of their kind, is particularly feared for its deadly tail spike capable of disemboweling foes with a single flick. Kaori warns against approaching any Blue Dragon, advising cadets to flee instead. All Blue Dragons command an intimidating presence. Beyond Sgaeyl, there are other Blue Dragons in active service, primarily stationed in the intense battlegrounds of the Esben Mountains. Descending from the extraordinary Gormfaileas line, notable Blue Dragons include Sgaeyl (Navy-Blue Daggertail) and Aaric's dragon (Blue Clubtail).

Green

Description

Renowned for their intelligence and calm demeanor, Green Dragons are ideal siege weapons, especially those with Clubtails. To approach a Green Dragon, show submission by lowering your eyes and awaiting their approval. Never back down from a Green. Descending from the honorable Uaineloidsig line, who sacrificed their ancestral hatching grounds for dragonkind at the current Basgiath War College, and the Cruaidhuaine line, known for their strong magical connection due to their rational, defensive nature, Green Dragons are a force to be reckoned with. Notable Green Dragons include Feirge (Daggertail), Teine (Clubtail), and Cuir (unknown tail).

Ranging in hue from apricot to carrot, Orange Dragons are the most unpredictable of dragonkind, making them a risk to approach during Threshing. Believed to have originated in the Northern Esbens, these dragons often shift their hatching grounds within the same mountain range. Descending from the Fhaicorain line, notable Orange Dragons include Claidh (Daggertail), Baide (Scorpiontail), Solas (Daggertail), Glane (Daggertail), and Marbh (Daggertail).

Red

Description

Known for their fiery shades including strawberry, Red Dragons demand respect. Never meet their gaze, as Red Scorpiontails are especially quick to anger. Approach from the left and front if possible. While all Red Swordtails have a fiery temper, they are particularly dangerous when provoked. Notable Red Dragons include Deigh (Daggertail), Sliseag (Swordtail), Cath (Swordtail), Ghrian (Scorpiontail), and Thoirt (Daggertail). Red Scorpiontails are the quickest to temper, and prefer that you approach them from the left and from the front.
