Red daggertail · large for the breed · died between a wyvern and Tairn

Deigh

The first bonded dragon whose death you feel from the inside — because it takes his rider with it.

Liam's red daggertail: big, strong, quick-tempered by colour, and the reason the series' cruellest rule stops being theory and starts being grief.

Signet: Liam's farsight — the squad's long eyes.
