## Relationships

### Tairn

Before the Tyrrish rebellion, Tairn claimed Naolin as his first rider, one of the largest and deadliest dragons in Navarre. After Naolin's death, Tairn refused to bond himself to another rider and had not been seen in the five years leading up to the events of Fourth Wing.

### Brennan Sorrengail

During the Tyrrish rebellion, Naolin attempted to revive Brennan through his signet, even though there is no signet capable of resurrection, and he depleted himself in the process. During the events in Iron Flame Violet mentions Naolin to her brother and is left under the impression that there might have been something more going on between Brennan and Naolin prior to his death.

Tyrrendor

## General Information

**Tyrrendor** is the largest and southernmost province of Navarre. The Trade Agreement of Resson indicates that the Athebyne outpost, located on the border of Tyrrendor and Krovla, a Poromiel province, is to be used by the two kingdoms for exchanging products. Due to its size, it provides the majority of conscripts that replenish Navarre's front lines.

During the events of Fourth Wing, protests regarding the conscriptions laws were growing. Lieutenant Colonel Alyssa Travonte recommended an influx of defensive spending on outposts to bolster their economy and remind the Tyrrish that they are needed to defend the kingdom.

### Geography

Tyrrendor is made up of hostile, mountainous terrain and bordered by the Emerald Sea to the west and the Arctile Ocean to the south, making Tyrrendor nearly impenetrable. Prior to the Tyrrish Rebellion, its capital had been Aretia.

The Cliffs of Dralor are provides a natural protective barrier that separates Tyrrendor from Promoiel. These cliffs lift the entire province thousands of feet above the rest of the continent.

### History

Tyrrendor was the last of the provinces bordering Poromiel to join the alliance and swear fealty to King Reginald. Tyrrendor attempted a secession six hundred and twenty-seven years later, and had they been successful, it would have left Navarre defenceless against Poromiel.

After the Tyrrish rebellion, the capital of Aretia was burned, though many buildings remained because they were made of stone.

## Trivia

* The majority of the marked kids who carry rebellion relics are from Tyrrendor.
The Parapet

The **Parapet** is located at the Basgiath War College.

## General Information

To become a cadet in the Riders Quadrant, rider candidates must cross the parapet on Conscription Day. It is located in the southern turret and candidates must climb two hundred and fifty steps to reach the stone parapet. The parapet itself is two hundred feet in the air and is only eighteen inches wide. The exact length of the parapet is unknown. Due to its height, the wind is very strong and can blow candidates off, causing them to fall to their death. Any rain or wet conditions could cause candidates to lose their footing and fall, as they don't delay the walk across for bad weather conditions. Candidates can only take what they can carry across the parapet.

There are second- or third-year riders that are accompanied by scribes based at the bottom of the turret, at the top of the turret, and on the other side of the parapet in the courtyard of the citadel. They serve to provide data on the number of candidates that successfully climbed the turret and cross the parapet for the scribes. Though climbing the turret is not an official entrance test for the Riders Quadrant, there is no railing and candidates have been known to fall to their death while climbing the stairs.

On average, fifteen percent of rider candidates die each year attempting to cross the parapet. Eighteen percent of candidates died attempting to cross the parapet during Violet Sorrengail's first year.

## Location

Visia Hawelynn

**Visia Hawelynn** was a repeat during Violet Sorrengails Junior year and a member of the Riders Quadrant.

## Biography

Visia entered the Riders Quadrant in the same year as Violett Sorrengail. She nearly did not survive her rookie year, having angered an Orange Daggertail during Threshing. The angered Dragon left her behind with a permanent burn scar on her face. She stayed unbonded because of this during her first year and returned for another try the next year.

During her second year, she is a member of Fourth Wing, Flame Section, Second Squad, the same squad as Violet Sorrengail, Rhiannon Matthias, Sawyer, Ridoc, Imogen, Nadine, Aaric Graycastle, Sloane Mairi and more rookies, and seniors are in. During her second Threshing, she is bonded by a brown daggertail. She later goes together with all members of her squad to Aretia and trains there.

Visia and her squad are assigned to the drift that includes Catriona Cordella, when the gryphons and their fliers are taking the Medaro Pass to get to Aretia. Visia is in a group together with fellow squad member Ridoc, the flier Luella and the latters gryphon Cibbelair. When they have to jump over a trap on the pass route, Visia makes the jump easily. The flier Luella on the other side is not strong enough to make the jump, she jumps against Violet, who the falls against Visia and all together come close to the cliff. Violet is able to hold on, but Visia and Luella fall over it. They both are able to hold onto Violets hand and Visia is saved from falling by Cibbelair, whom she is in the way, when he tries to save Luella. Cibbelair rescued Visia to get to Luella, but he could not reach her in time to prevent her fall.This incident involving Visia is one of the reasons for Violets and Cats bad relationship, because Cat blames Violet for Luellas death.

During one training mission Visia, together with Sloane, Violet, Cat, Andarna and Kiralair make one team. On their search they enter a cave, where they believe one of the runes they have to search is. When they enter the cave the realize very soon that they are not alone. The dragon Solas has been hiding inside the cave, after his rider, Burton Varrish was killed by Violet. Solas throws Visia against one of the walls of the cave. Visia died instantly, because of the injuries she sustained.

## Physical Description

A burn scar sprawls from her collar to her hairline, curving along the right side of her face.

Iron Flame

***Iron Flame*** is the second book in *The Empyrean Series* by author Rebecca Yarros.

## Synopsis

**“The first year is when some of us lose our lives. The second year is when the rest of us lose our humanity.” —Xaden Riorson**

Everyone expected Violet Sorrengail to die during her first year at Basgiath War College—Violet included. But Threshing was only the first impossible test meant to weed out the weak-willed, the unworthy, and the unlucky.

Now the real training begins, and Violet’s already wondering how she’ll get through. It’s not just that it’s grueling and maliciously brutal, or even that it’s designed to stretch the riders’ capacity for pain beyond endurance. It’s the new vice commandant, who’s made it his personal mission to teach Violet exactly how powerless she is–unless she betrays the man she loves.

Although Violet’s body might be weaker and frailer than everyone else’s, she still has her wits—and a will of iron. And leadership is forgetting the most important lesson Basgiath has taught her: Dragon riders make their own rules.

But a determination to survive won’t be enough this year.

Because Violet knows the real secret hidden for centuries at Basgiath War College—and nothing, not even dragon fire, may be enough to save them in the end.

Unbonded

Unbonded cadets are those who are not chosen by a dragon at Threshing. They can repeat their first year, and try again the next. Often, unbonded cadets become violent toward the bonded riders, because they think that killing the rider will earn the favor of their dragon. Sometimes, when a rider dies after Threshing for whatever reason, the then-unbonded dragon will pick one of the unbonded cadets to bond to.

## Notable Unbonded Riders

Sawyer was an unbonded rider who repeated his first year, and then was chosen by a dragon at his second Threshing.

Relic

**Relics** are a mark on the body that is given by a dragon. There are two known types of relics: bonded rider relics and rebellion relics. Bonded relics are seen as a symbol of honor and power and generally take the shape of the dragon that gifted them. While the Rebellion Relics are swirls and slashes that feel more like a warning than a claiming.

## Bonded Rider Relics

The first and most common type of relic is the mark that a rider receives when their dragon uses magic to mark the skin of their bonded rider. On the day of Threshing, after bonding, the dragon will use their flames to mark their rider. This process is painful as the rider feels the heat from their dragon. The placement of the relics seem to be decided by the dragon, but the image of the relic generally resemble the shape of the dragon who gifted it to them. These relics are a symbol of honour and power.

This relic is the conduit to let the riders access power to do lesser magic and allows them to do basic magic like open doors, move faster than what it natural, and power inkpens. Though this power is accessed through the relics, the rider will not be able to use these powers until their dragon decides to start channelling, which is when the dragon decides to allow the rider to start accessing magic through the relic.

## Rebellion Relics

The second type is a rebellion relic, which was a mark that was put on all the children of the Tyrrish rebellion leaders by General Melgren's dragon, Codagh. This mark was painful for the children to receive and starts at their wrist and goes up their body in various different swirling patterns. Though it was a mark that was placed on the children by the dragon, any children of the rebellion leaders that were born after the rebellion was ended were born with a rebellion relic.

> “*Mom says General Melgren’s dragon did it to all of them when he executed their parents, but she wasn’t exactly open to further discussion on the topic. Nothing like punishing the kids to deter more parents from committing treason*.” -Mira
>
>

There were 107 children that carry a rebellion relic and Xaden is the oldest of those children, they are usually referred to as "marked ones". The relic is a visual indicator for everyone that these people are the children of rebellion leaders and they are usually met with distrust and suspicion from those that do not know them personally. Most of the marked children who carry the Rebellion Relics are from Tyrrendor but there are a few whose parents turned traitor from the other provinces according to Mira.

Though the mark was given by Codagh, General Malgren's signet, which allows him to see the outcome of a battle before it happens, does not work when more than three marked ones are together. Because of this, a new addendum was added to the Basgiath War College Code of Conduct stating that marked ones in groups of three or more would be considered an act of seditious conspiracy and would be a capital offense.

## Notable Marked Ones

* Xaden Riorson
* Liam Mairi
* Imogen
Professor Kaori

* Every rider is capable of using Lesser magic once their dragon begins channeling through them after Threshing.

#### Signet

* **Illusionist**
	+ The ability to project what he sees in his mind for those around him. Because of his signet, Professor Kaori is rarely stationed outside of Basgiath War College, as it's easier and more suitable for a teaching environment. He's the only professor in the Riders Quadrant with that signet. He can make his illusions disappear when he closes his fist.

## Quotes

* "I'm sorry", Professor Kaori says as he comes up behind me. "Did I just hear you order your...aides, or whatever it is you're calling them, to strip a cadet?"
* "Oh no." Kaori shakes his head. "I think you abuse your power in general."
* "You're making enemies, Sorrengail."

They are strands of magic pulled from the magic wielder's power, woven into geometric patterns for specific uses, then placed into an object, either for immediate work or for usage at a different time. This process is called "tempering". The rune will activate when triggered to perform whatever action it was tempered for.

## Relics

* Rebellion Relics are a result of runes.
* Dragon Relics a result of a bond between rider and dragon given to the rider after successfully survivng Threshing

## Signets /Dragons Magic

Signets are a the strongest, unique, ability that results from the bond between a dragon and their rider. Dragons channel their magic through their bonded riders which allows the rider to access lesser magic as well as their signet. If the rider channels too much magic they risk burning out and dying, however the reverse is true when the rider is bonded to a juvenile (feathertail) dragon -if too much magic is channeled then the feathertail is at risk for dying.

**\*\*For a list of current known signets and other general information about Signets see *here*.\*\***

When a dragon hatchling emerges from a new hatching ground for the first time a pulse of star-bright magic is channeled out and through every living thing within a four-hour flight of the hatchling. This event transforms the land around it and thus, changes the magic within that area.

## The Source

Humans can alternatively draw power from "the source" (aka the ground) without needing to bond a magical creature. Performing this turns that human into a Venin. The price for taking power from the source is part of their soul. The more power someone draws from the source, the more of their soul they lose and the more their eyes turn red. The limitations to the magic a Venin can access is not defined, but it is known that Venin have the unique ability to create Wyvern, and control dragons they're bonded to.

### Fourth Wing

During Threshing, Baide chooses Jack as her rider, as both complement each other for their aggressiveness.

### Iron Flame

Baide hides the truth from the Empyrean, that her rider, Jack Barlowe, is still alive, currently mended by Nolon. Soon after, she is spotted by Violet's team during their Rider Survival Course (RSC) challenge, wandering through the forests. She ends up incinerating Thomas.

Baide essentially gets betrayed by Jack, who used his Venin power to shield his true intentions from her. He ends up wounding her between the scales of her neck with a dagger, resulting in her bleeding out and hitting the Wardstone before her final moments.

However, Jack later on betrays Baide by slashing a dagger between the scales of her neck , leading to her death.

## Trivia

* In Scottish Gaelic, Baide's name sounds most similar to "baid" (gorup/herd) or "baideal" (battlement/cloud). One could also make the argument that it sounds similar to "bàidh" (friendliness/kindness). However, the last one seems doubtful. . .

Navarre

Interior world map art by Melanie Korte

**Navarre** is one of the two kingdoms in the current Known World.

## General Information

is the larger kingdom on the west, and is divided into six unique provinces:

### Tyrrendor Province:

* Southern most and largest province, it encompasses the southwest of the entire continent. It's made up of hostile mountainous terrain and bordered by the Emerald Sea to the west and the Arctile Ocean to the south, while being geographically separated from Poromiel by the Cliffs of Dralor a natural protective barrier, thus making it nearly impenetrable. It's borders the Poromiel province Krovla. Tyrrendor was the last of the provinces bordering Poromiel to join the alliance and swear fealty to King Reginald. It was the only province to attempt secession during 627 AU, and had they been successful, it would have left Navarre defenceless against Poromiel.
* Locations: Lewellen and Aretia

### Elsum Province

* Chakir
	+ the nearest outpost to a small village that suffered a gryphon attack on the night of Violet's conscription along the Esben Mountains. Altitude is roughly ten thousand feet.
* Sumerton,
* Athebyne

## **Mountain Ranges**

These regions offer an abundance in ore, hardy timber, and limitless deer and elk.

### Esben Mountains

is the highest along the eastern border with Braevick, a little less than ten thousand feet, making it the least likely place for a gryphon attack, as gryphons don't tolerate thinner air at higher altitudes. it takes roughly thirty minutes to light the beacons in the range and call for help.

## **Notable Rivers**

### Iakobos River

Navarre's mountainous regions offer an abundance of ore, hardy timber from the eastern provinces, and limitless deer and elk. Navarre's borders are somewhat circular because the power that radiates from the Vale powers the wards that protect them from Poromiel's raiding parties.

Navarre has many defense posts outside the safety of the wards. Such posts are considered to be in a zone of imminent danger and should only be staffed by military personel and never the civilians who usually accompany them.
