Feirge

Who is Feirge? Feirge is a green daggertail dragon bonded to Rhiannon Matthias, a Riders Quadrant cadet and one of Violet Sorrengail's closest friends. The Empyrean Series den guide (a fan reference), Empyrean Riders, Fantasy Fangirls, Ink and Imaginings, Bookish Goblin and Screen Rant all give green and daggertail, so those two details are the firmest facts on this page. Beyond that, the sources say very little about Feirge herself, and we mark every gap instead of filling it.

What does the name mean? Empyrean Riders and Bookish Goblin both give the Gaelic meaning of Feirge as anger, and Empyrean Riders repeats the gloss in its Onyx Storm guide. A fierce name on a dragon from a family usually described as calm and rational is an interesting contrast, but that observation is ours. No page we opened says why the name was chosen, and we found no age, size or hatching details for her. We will not guess at them.

What makes a green a green? The den guide describes greens as intelligent and rational, and says they descend from the Uaineloidsig and Cruaidhuaine lines. Fantasy Fangirls adds that their rational streak makes them useful as siege weapons. The approach rule is the same on both pages: lower your eyes to show respect, wait for the dragon to accept you, and once a bond exists, do not back down. Our approach guide shows how that plays out for each color. These are traits of the color, not statements about Feirge in particular.

What is a daggertail? Screen Rant says daggertails carry knife-like spikes on the tail and counts them among the more common tail types in the series. The den guide does not define the term. It only describes the blue daggertail, the rarest blue type, as capable of a deadly strike, and it does not say whether every daggertail shares that. Fantasy Fangirls says a morningstar tail combines daggertail and clubtail traits. Whether Feirge has ever been shown using her tail in a fight, we could not confirm from these pages.

Who is Rhiannon Matthias? Empyrean Riders places Rhiannon in the Second Squad of Flame Section in Fourth Wing, aged twenty, from a village on the Cygnisen border in Morraine Province. It lists a twin sister, Raegan, and a nephew, Lukas. Bookish Goblin describes her as loyal and skilled with a bow staff, and calls her Violet's best friend. Two guides describe her as a first-year and a second-year respectively, so check your copy before quoting her rank at a given moment.

What is her signet? Rhiannon's signet is listed as Summoner by Empyrean Riders, Fantasy Fangirls and Bookish Goblin, who phrase it as summoning objects; Empyrean Riders marks it rare in its Onyx Storm guide. One summary of the Empyrean Riders character page left the signet field blank, so the label comes from the guides rather than that page. The signet belongs to Rhiannon, not the dragon. Not one of the sources we read gives Feirge a signet of her own, and the Onyx Storm table covers human characters only, so any signet attached to Feirge would be unsupported.

How did Feirge and Rhiannon bond? We could not confirm the scene. Bookish Goblin states the bond but says nothing about how or when it formed, and none of the other pages we opened describe it. A search result summarizing a fan-made chatbot page claims Feirge chose Rhiannon the instant they saw each other, but that is an unreliable source and we are not repeating it as fact. Feirge also does not appear among the Threshing Day entries we could find, so we say nothing about her hatching or her choosing.

What happens to the pair in Iron Flame? Empyrean Riders says Rhiannon's role grows in the second book: she becomes a squad leader and one of the loudest supporters of the rebellion among riders. It describes her questioning orders when loved ones are put at risk. Fantasy Fangirls also lists her as a squad leader. None of the pages describe a specific Feirge scene in Iron Flame, so what the dragon does in those chapters is something we cannot report.

Spoilers: Onyx Storm

Does Feirge appear in Onyx Storm? Yes, as a name on the dragon chart. Empyrean Riders' Onyx Storm guide lists Feirge as a green daggertail bonded to Rhiannon, and says Rhiannon is a squad leader who keeps developing her summoning signet and stays a patient, loyal ally to Violet. Another page of Empyrean Riders says she becomes a leader and a voice of reason, and rallies riders in a key battle. We found no source describing a scene that features Feirge directly.

Where do the sources disagree? The clearest conflict is in Empyrean Riders' Fourth Wing character guide, whose entry for Rhiannon names a brown clubtail called Fuil as her dragon and lists Feirge under Liam Mairi. That contradicts the same site's Feirge page and Onyx Storm guide, plus every other source we read. Liam's dragon is Deigh, a red daggertail according to the den guide. We treat the Fuil and Liam entry as an error, but it is a good reason to confirm any pairing against your copy. Spellings also vary: one page prints Fierge in a character list, and Rhiannon's surname appears as Mathias in some places.

What is at stake for the pair? Fantasy Fangirls states that a rider dies if their dragon dies, while a dragon can outlive a rider and bond again. That ties Rhiannon's fate to Feirge's, as it does for every pair in the series. The sources we read do not cover what happens to Feirge across the later books, and we will not hint at an outcome either way.

Can you get Feirge in Dragonkind? Rebecca Yarros's FAQ says every color and tail type is possible, so a green daggertail exists as a result in principle. It does not say whether named dragons from the books can appear, and no method for choosing a color is published. A result of Feirge herself is therefore unconfirmed. This site is an independent fan guide, not Dragonkind, and we compiled this from press, FAQ and player reports.

Which dragons should you read next? Teine is the other green with a confirmed tail, a clubtail bonded to Mira Sorrengail. Cuir is the third green named in the guides, ridden by Bodhi Durran, and sources disagree on his tail: Ink and Imaginings and Fantasy Fangirls say swordtail, while the den guide leaves it blank. Deigh is the red daggertail that ties into the Liam mix-up above. Between them they show how the same color can come with several tail types.
