Accendare

Flamme-de-Gloire, by merangue

## Biography

Accendare is a French Flamme-de-Gloire. She is missing one talon and blind in her right eye due to injuries sustained during the Battle of the "Glorious first of June". Because of these distinctive injuries, John Granby and others familiar with her were able to distinguish her from her decoys.

*Accendare* can be construed in Latin as "May you be consumed in flames", via the second-person singular passive subjunctive of the verb *accendo, accendere* ("to ignite").
Her good eye is yellow and she has horns that curved down from her forehead to her jaws.

### 1805 - 1806

from *Throne of Jade*

### 1807

from *Empire of Ivory*

After William Laurence and Temeraire brought the mushrooms that cured the Dragon Plague to France in September 1807, Napoleon offered them refuge there. Laurence refused and insisted on returning to England. Napoleon then honoured him by sending him to the Calais covert with of an escort of the "Old Guard" and having Accendare's formation - 14 dragons in all - escort him and Temeraire across the Channel. Accendare herself had already contracted the plague at this time. Irritable and weary with coughing, she was inclined to snap and be difficult.

### 1808

from *Victory of Eagles*

Six months later, by the time the Battle of Shoeburyness was fought, Accendare had apparently completely recovered, as she fought in that battle and burnt one of Messoria's wings.

### 1813

From *League of Dragons*

Accendare is burning the Prussian troops near the town of Dresden when the Aerial Corps arrive. Laurence sends Iskierka to stop her.   Iskierka soon had her fleeing back to the safety of the French line.

Lung Tien Xian

**Lung Tien Xian** was a female Celestial, the sister of Ming and Zhi, and the mother of Qian and Chu.

## Biography

She was one of the three Celestials sired by Lung Tien Fai, and the only female. Due to the reduced number of living Celestials in her time, she attempted to produce eggs of her own: she had one daughter, Qian, without a problem; but in her second attempt, the egg hardened in the sac. This was a risk, since it could have been crushed during the laying, and Xian, fearing for the egg, wanted a surgical approach to save it; when physicians refused, she clawed herself open. While the egg survived, and the dragonet, Chu, eventually hatched without an issue, infection and fever led to Xian's death less than two weeks after this event.

This incident was very commented and criticized, since for many it would have been preferable to release the egg naturally as soon as possible, and tend to it if it still had a chance to hatch; this way Xian would have survived, having other chances to produce eggs in the future. However, Xian's daughter, Qian, remembered her mother's sacrifice and respected her courage, and even though no one spoke about Xian because of worry and superstition, when Qian herself was preparing to laying her own eggs she spent most of her time in the Pavilion of Ten Thousand Springs, Xian's favorite retreat, where Qian and her stayed when Chu's egg had first formed.

Sarah Roland

## Family

Daughter: Jane Roland

Biography
## from *Dawn of Battle* in *Golden Age and Other Stories*

Sarah Roland was the second captain of Excidium. She was made captain of Excidium at the age of seventeen though her own mother was still alive. This was in part because unlike her mother and daughter Jane Roland (and granddaughter Emily Roland ), she was a highly timid woman.  According to her own daughter, "I don't think you could find anyone less suited to the work than mother." This meant she was effectively controlled by her first lieutenant, Davidson (who may have possibly been Jane's father), who shared her bed and was essentially the acting captain of Excidium at this time.

Her one and only rebellion was keeping her daughter Jane with her and raising her herself with Excidium. She died of pleurisy.

NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY NPR • BuzzFeed • Tordotcom • BookPage • Library Journal • Publishers Weekly

Agnieszka loves her valley home, her quiet village, the forests and the bright shining river. But the corrupted Wood stands on the border, full of malevolent power, and its shadow lies over her life.

Her people rely on the cold, driven wizard known only as the Dragon to keep its powers at bay. But he demands a terrible price for his help: one young woman handed over to serve him for ten years, a fate almost as terrible as falling to the Wood.

The next choosing is fast approaching, and Agnieszka is afraid. She knows—everyone knows—that the Dragon will take Kasia: beautiful, graceful, brave Kasia, all the things Agnieszka isn’t, and her dearest friend in the world. And there is no way to save her.

But Agnieszka fears the wrong things. For when the Dragon comes, it is not Kasia he will choose.

Langford James

Captain Langford James, by Shyangell

## Biography

James and his dragon Volly perform dispatch service for the Aerial Corps. He typically wears a grey leather outfit with hood that matchs the dragon's hide. He occasionally goes on flights as long as fourteen hours with his dragon, so they spend a lot of time together. Even though Volly isn't as intelligent as other dragons, the two got along beautifully.

James began serving in the British Aerial Corps as a child. He began training for dispatch service at 12 and was became a captain at 14.

Even by the lax standards of the Corps James is extremely casual in his approach to social occasions. Having been a captain from such a young age and having spent much of the intervening years flying long distance courier routes, James' independence and lack of concern for the unspoken rules of social situations occasionally causes friction with the more traditional elements of the Royal Navy. James however most often fails to notice either giving or receiving any offence.

### 1805

from *His Majesty's Dragon*

Is the first member of the British Aerial Corps that Laurence meets after Temeraire's hatching. When James spies Temeraire on the Island of Madeira he and Volley go in for a landing. After Laurence explains about Temeraire's hatching James picks up the dispatches and then head for Gilbralter where he tells them about Laurence and Temeraire.

Brings dispatches to the *Allegiance* after his dragon has already caught the plague, thus exposing Temeraire to it.

### 1807

Sirenspider

## Description

Sirenspiders create a clear, tinkly noise like melancholy windchimes. They paralyze their victims with siren song then slowly suck out their victim's blood. They have thick shells which can be used to craft musical instruments that become powerful magical artifacts. They usually are not seen during the second half of the year, after their molting.
They emit a high pitch sound that usually stuns their prey. The best defense is to plug up your ears.

## How to Kill

Most Sirenspiders can survive mortal flame because of their shells. They can be killed with brute force attacks or combat magic, and don't require a special strategy or spell to successfully kill them.

## Appearances

### A Deadly Education

Two sirenspiders attack El, Orion, and Aadhya while they are working on a magic mirror. Orion fought the spiders, and El was able to grab a sirenspider leg which she later gave to Aadhya. Using it, Aadhya starts to create a sirenspider lute.

There are sirenspiders are in the Graduation Hall when the team of students goes down to repair the broken mortal flame equipment.
The ceiling is covered in a thick tangle of sirenspider web.

## Notes

* Chapter five of A Deadly Education is titled Sirenspiders.

### Biography

General Henry Phipps, 1st Earl of Mulgrave, GCB, PC, styled The Honourable Henry Phipps until 1792 and known as The Lord Mulgrave from 1792 to 1812, was a British soldier and politician. He notably served as Foreign Secretary under William Pitt the Younger from 1805 to 1806.

Henry Phipps, 1st Earl of Mulgrave (14 February 1755) was a British politician.

Educated at Eton College and the Middle Temple, he entered the army in 1775, and eventually rose to the rank of General. He saw service in the Caribbean during the American Revolutionary War. In 1784 Phipps was elected to the House of Commons for Totnes. He supported the government of Pitt, to whom he eventually became close. In 1790, he was elected for Scarborough in Yorkshire.

He succeeded his brother Constantine John Phipps as Baron Mulgrave in the Peerage of Ireland in 1792, but did not succeed to his brother's British title. In 1793, due to the fact that he was on a mission to the King of Sardinia in Turin, he was near at hand when British forces captured the French port of Toulon, and he briefly took command of the British land forces there, before withdrawing upon the arrival of more senior officers. In 1794 he was granted a British peerage as Baron Mulgrave, entering the House of Lords. In 1799 he was sent out on another special military mission, this time to the headquarters of the Austrian commander, Archduke Charles, to attempt to persuade him to retain his troops in Switzerland rather than removing them to the Middle Rhine, but he was unsuccessful.

Mulgrave supported Pitt when he resigned in 1801, and in return for his loyalty was rewarded with the office of Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster (1804–1805) in Pitt's second government. Following an accident suffered by Lord Harrowby, Mulgrave took his place as Foreign Secretary, in which position he helped Pitt to form the Third Coalition against Napoleon.

With the death of Pitt and the formation of the Ministry of All the Talents in 1806, Mulgrave, along with the other Pittites, went into opposition, but when the Pittites returned to power in 1807, Mulgrave served as First Lord of the Admiralty.

Jean-Paul Choiseul

Template:People

## Biography

Jean-Paul Choiseul remained loyal to the Bourbon kings when Napoleon Bonaparte came to power. He was forced to seek refuge in other countries. In 1805, he came to Britain and stayed at the Loch Laggan covert. His 14 years of experience and combat-ready dragon were enthusiastically welcomed by the Aerial Corps. Choiseul formed a particularly close attachment to Catherine Harcourt.

In truth, however, Choiseul had been sent to Britain to steal back Temeraire's egg for the French. He hoped that if he could perform this deed, he and Praecursoris would not be executed. But Temeraire had already hatched, so instead he attempted to kidnap Harcourt and Lily. In the process, he killed one of Lily's officers, Midwingman Wilpoys. This plot was foiled by William Laurence; the two fought, though it was ultimately Harcourt who overpowered Choiseul.

For his treachery, Choiseul was executed. His last act was to convince Praecursoris to accept safe haven at the British breeding grounds in Newfoundland.

Choiseul's execution caused deep upset among the Loch Laggan dragons, especially the younger ones, reminding them all of the mortality of their captains.

## Overview

### Cross-Breed

The Honneur-d'Or was one of three parent strands used in the longwing breeding program. The other two were the British Sharpspitter and the Russian Ironwing.

### Captains

Originally, Longwings would not take to any male set to them for a captain, as they would instead escape and run off to the wild or go into a breeding-ground. The issue was eventually identified when Queen Elizabeth the First thought to set one of her serving maids in front of a Longwing to see what would happen. The Longwing took to the females, and since then the breed has only taken female captains.

Having female captains or any females in the Aerial Cops causes problems for the Aviators, as they have to hide their gender when in public and not mention it, as during this time the public will not accept women holding any military positions and it was illegal for women to wear male clothing (anything other than long dresses).

### Value

Because they are a large breed and an Acid spitter, they are immensely valuable to the war effort. Unfortunately, there aren't many of them available. A wing is usually formed around a Longwing, both to support it when attacking and to protect it from the enemy.

### Physical traits and Abilities

Longwing's have pitted bone spurs on both sides of their jaw that spit acid. The spray will only come out if the dragon's head is pointing down.

Longwing eyes are slit-pupiled and orange-yellow.
They can spit with great accuracy, as they can hit a target from 400 ft in the air.

## Dragons

Dragons that are mentioned in the books that are of this breed.

* Lily, Captain Catherine Harcourt
* Excidium, Captain Jane Roland
* Mortiferus, Captain St. Germain
* Conterrenis, Captain Gardenley

* Gentius, he had the first official female captain

Luisa was raised by mundanes. She had no knowledge of her magical abilities until she was pulled into the Scholomance by the induction spell.

Luisa was killed by Jack Westing for malia before the beginning of the book. Before her death, she would frequently follow Orion Lake around and ask for his help, since he was willing to protect her.

**The first three books in the series, as well as the Temeraire short story *In Autumn, A White Dragon Looks Over the Wide River***.

## Description

Together in one volume, here are the first three novels in Naomi Novik’s New York Times bestselling Temeraire series, combining the gripping history of the Napoleonic era, the thrill of Anne McCaffrey’s Dragonriders of Pern books, and the excitement of Patrick O’Brian’s seafaring adventures. In His Majesty’s Service also includes an exclusive original Temeraire short story.

Capt. Will Laurence is serving with honor in the British Navy when his ship captures a French frigate harboring most a unusual cargo–an incalculably valuable dragon egg. When the egg hatches, Laurence unexpectedly becomes the master of the young dragon Temeraire and finds himself on an extraordinary journey that will shatter his orderly, respectable life and alter the course of his nation’s history.

The volume includes the original short story "In Autumn, a White Dragon Looks over the Wide River" about Lung Tien Lien's arrival in France.

Larrakia

Both a place (village) and a people native to Australia
from *Tongues of Serpents*

Where Tharunka ended up hatching.

*“These are the Larrakia,” the dragonet said, “who had me from the Pitjantjatjara, who had me from the Wiradjuri; and pray do not be angry, for they needed me quite badly. You see, we are sending goods so far that all the directions are in different languages for all the different tribes, and of course all of you in Sydney, and there is no one who can speak to all of them; but now I can, as I have heard them all in the shell,” she finished, with some complacency, “and I am learning Chinese, too, as much as I can; and they have given me a great many jewels.”* Novik, Naomi.

Mosi-oa-Tunya

Victoria Falls

## Overview

Mosi-oa-Tunya is the main city of the Tswana people, but the entire Kingdom has small tribal villages scattered around, often in remote areas. Mosi-oa-Tunya is also the location of a vast gold mining center that supplies much of the wealth of the Kingdom.

It is located deep in the interior of the continent, about halfway between Cape Town and the "Horn of Africa".

### 1807

from *Empire of Ivory*
Mosi oa Tunya is the where Laurence and his companions are imprisoned. About a thousand people are held captive in caves carved into the rock. Laurence, as the leader of his group, is taken before the dragon-king of the Tswana, Mokhachane. He is to expected to draw them a map of Europe for them, but he refuses. As a result Laurence is whipped and then dumped back into his cave.

In the meantime Temeraire had arrived to rescue them, but when he saw Laurence he immediately thought that he was dead and as a result flies into a rage against the Tswana dragons.

Laurence is taken back to the Dragon King, but meets with Prince Moshueshue who interrogates him. Laurence is then taken to a huge amphitheater where Temeraire is being held in chains. Laurence sees Dulcia who is holding a signal flag that means “Tomorrow”. The next night Lily arrives to help them escape. Lily uses her acid to create holes in the cliff face below their cave so they can use it them to climb down.

Hannah Erasmus flees with them to Cape Town

Using Quotes

Personally I like a few quotes within an article as they add a bit of interest and sometimes no one can say something as well as the original author. But, actually quotes are not necessary. Sometimes facts that may be relayed within an article have to be backed up with a citation from the story and any personal opinions and assumptions absolutely must be backed up with citations, often multiple citations to prove why you came to those conclusions.

## Opinions and Assumptions

When writing an article and adding your opinion, please include citations references events by page # that resulted in drawing the conclusions that you did. You don't actually have to quote from the book, just add a citation of the book title and page number to support your statements.

## Quotes

When quoting passages from one of the books, you absolutely must cite where the quote came from, book, chapter and page # if known. Audiobooks make this a bit difficult, so book and chapter should be good enough.

I've added two different Quote templates to make this a bit easier to insert in an article. They are both added the same way with 3 parameters meaning the same thing, the difference is in the way they are displayed.

### **Quote**

displays with two oversize quotation marks

This is the way the results would look in source mode, but in this example I used the citation tags <ref></ref> so that the citation would show at the bottom of the page instead of with in the body of the text.

{{quote|Temeraire had been hatched in the year five;|narrative|<ref>Novik, Naomi. Empire of Ivory: A Novel of Temeraire. Chapter 1. Kindle Edition.</ref>}}

### **Quote2**

displays without the oversize quotation marks, but with the text in italics.

{{quote2|Temeraire had been hatched in the year five;|narrative|<ref>Novik, Naomi. Empire of Ivory: A Novel of Temeraire. Chapter 1. Kindle Edition.</ref>}}

## Reference lists

To add a Reference list to the bottom of the page, use the Insert function and click on Reference List. For consistace sake, add a Reference header before the Reference list.

source mode would look like this:

Lung Tien Zhi

**Lung Tien Zhi** is a male Celestial, the brother of Ming and Xian. Through the latter, he's the uncle of Qian and Chu.

## Biography

### Early Years

He was one of the three Celestials sired by Lung Tien Fai. When he was old enough (pressumably fifteen months or older) Zhi became the companion of Prince Yunreng, one of the Kangxi Emperor's sons, and he had a really close bond with him. However, when Yunreng got involved in several scandals of "immoral" nature and the Emperor started questioning his sanity, Zhi was very affected, to the point of stopping trying to sire a new Celestial egg. In 1712, Yunreng was perpetually confined, and Zhi, suffering from his companion's situation, agreed to stand as the companion of Yunreng's brother, Yinzhen, at his coronation as the Yongzheng Emperor in 1722; while this was only a political fiction, it bought Prince Yunreng some freedom in his imprisonment. According to Qian, since Yunreng's death in 1725, Zhi refused to emerge from seclusion, losing interest in the world.

### 1805 - 1806

From *Throne of Jade*

Zhi was mentioned by Qian when Temeraire was introduced to his mother, listing him as one of the few Celestials still alive.

## Family Tree

**Note:** The information in this family tree is taken mostly from *Golden Age and Other Stories:Succession* by Naomi Novik and some from *Throne of Jade*.

## Biography

from *Throne of Jade*

He flogs Blythe who struck down Reynolds. Because Temeraire snarls he flogs lighter towards the end.

*and during the flogging he had growled savagely when Blythe had screamed towards the end. Some good had come of that: the bosun’s mate Hingley, who had been wielding the cat with more than usual energy, had been alarmed, and the last couple of strokes had been mild; but the damage had already been done.* Novik, Naomi.

HMS Sultan

## Ship History

**HMS *Sultan*** was a 74-gun third rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, launched on 19 September 1807, at Deptford Dockyard.

The *Sultan* was serving in the Channel blockade at the time Napoleon's armies invaded Britain in December 1807. She, like the *Goliath*, had been harpooned and entangled by the French dragons, enabling the French fleet to sail from the port of Calais and land on the British coast.
