Feirge
A spoiler-free guide to Fourth Wing, Iron Flame & Onyx Storm (The Empyrean).
Only showing what’s been revealed up to your current progress. Future events, identities, and relationships are hidden.
Overview
Feirge is Rhiannon’s bonded dragon.
In the wider war, she functions as Rhiannon’s battle mount and a dragon-side relay during field commands.
Appearance
Feirge is identified as a Green Daggertail dragon.
Relationships
Rhiannon describes bonding Feirge as easy, saying she saw the dragon and simply knew.
Feirge tells Rhiannon that they cannot be separated for more than a couple of days, making their bond a practical limit on Rhiannon’s assignments.
Feirge already knows about the hidden war, showing that this knowledge had been withheld from Rhiannon until Violet’s confession.
Around Andarna, Feirge acts protectively: she throws Andarna clear of a falling wyvern carcass and treats Leothan as a possible threat until Andarna identifies him as one of her line.
Abilities and Skills
Feirge can position herself precisely beneath another dragon in flight, allowing Rhiannon to receive Liam after Tairn catches him during the War Games.
In aerial combat, Feirge carries Rhiannon close enough for dangerous midair transfers and stays aligned beneath Tairn so Rhiannon can jump safely back after boarding him.
Feirge supports clean battle-mount work with Rhiannon, launching, descending for a running landing, and returning in time for Rhiannon to jump back to her foreclaw.
Feirge relays information quickly through Rhiannon and other dragons, including warnings of arrivals, position reports, formation orders, and battlefield counts.
Feirge fights wyvern with agility and close attack rather than brute strength, using dragonfire, rolls, climbs, bites at necks and weak points, shredded wings, and broken bones to bring enemies down.
Important Events
Feirge and Rhiannon stand among the six rider-dragon pairs required for Aretia’s ward-raising ritual, with Feirge representing one of the dragon dens in the corrected translation.
Feirge joins the unauthorized flight to Basgiath and carries Rhiannon into the battle, where the squad uses her positioning as part of the dagger-transfer maneuver against wyvern.
At the north gate, Feirge joins Tairn against a high-left wyvern pair, bites into a wyvern’s neck, and holds it long enough for Tairn to help destroy it.
During Theophanie’s attack near the temple, Feirge protects Andarna by knocking her clear of an oncoming wyvern carcass.
