Tairneanach, most commonly known as Tairn, is the bonded dragon of Violet Sorrengail and mate of Sgaeyl. He is currently the second largest dragon in active service and the only other black dragon aside from Codagh.
He is the child of Murtcuideam and Fiaclanfuil and descended from the cunning Dubhmadinn line. He's a little over a hundred years old, which makes him about middle aged. He's revered as a battle dragon among Dragonkind, and is accredited for the defeat of the Tyrrish Rebellion despite nearly dying during the Battle of Aretia when his only other previous rider Naolin burned out saving Brennan Sorrengail. Because of his rare color and breed of tail, Tairn is also considered one of the deadliest dragons in Navarre.
Prior to the events of Fourth Wing, Tairn had refused to bond in the five years between Naolin's death and Violet's Threshing.
Tairn is a Black Morningstartail with scarred black wings and one of the biggest dragons Violet has ever seen, who doesn't even come close to reaching his ankle. His underbelly is covered in rock-hard scales and he has long claws. His scales are larger and thicker than Violet's hand. He has a series of pointed spikes that ripple down most of his neck like a mane. His seat is a smooth, scaly divot just in front of his wings. The pommel is a thick ridge of scales where his neck meets his shoulders.
With Violet, he wears a saddle made out of sumptuous black leather, completed with two raised pommels for her hands and stirrups, including a buckle and straps.
He has a very dry sense of humour and enjoys teasing Violet about her relationship with Xaden. Tairn is also overprotective of Violet and will not hesitate to burn someone alive if they harm her.
Powers
When Violet is first learning how to ride, Tairn creates invisible bands of power that keep her on her seat so that she doesn't fall off mid-flight. Due to their bond, Tairn can telepathically communicate with Violet. He, Violet, Sgaeyl, and Xaden can all communicate with each other when they meet due to the mating bond that also exists between Tairn and Sgaeyl.
Abilities
Tairn's physical prowess is noticeably greater than most dragons at Basgiath. Despite only recently returning into active service since the Tyrrish rebellion, he's incredibly fast when flying and his large size intimidates most riders and dragons. Professor Kaori, Navarre's foremost expert on dragonkind, credited him for Navarre's victory in the Tyrrish rebellion. He stated that Tairn is "one of the deadliest dragons in Navarre."
Sgaeyl
Sgaeyl is Tairn's chosen mate. Their mating bond is the strongest to appear in centuries. Since they are mates, Tairn and Sgaeyl cannot be apart from each other for too long, or else they die.
Andarna
He acts as Andarna's main father figure since they have both bonded to Violet.
Violet Sorrengail
Violet is Tairn's bonded rider. He chose her during Threshing after she protected Andarna from Jack Barlowe, Tynan, and Oren Seifert. He and Violet continue to strengthen their bond throughout her time as a first-year at Basgiath. Tairn is extremely protective of Violet and will take action against those whom he believes means her harm. This is seen multiple times throughout the first book. For example, when Dain Aetos angrily approaches Violet after a flying session, Tairn threatens to burn him alive. Tairn starts channeling his power into Violet after she demonstrated that she "held [her] own and controlled [her] temper." A while later, it's revealed that Violet's signet power is lightning wielding. Prior to him choosing to bond with Violet, Tairn also met and knew of her older brother, Brennan Sorrengail. This is due to the fact that Tairn's previous rider, Naolin, fought by Brennan's side during the Tyrrish rebellion.

Feb 4, 2021 · Yes, it is. The so-called kraken is actually the giant squid, which is huge (as the “giant” in the name already hints) but considerably smaller and less violent than sailors claimed. There are no accounts that it ever attacked or sank a ship or is even powerful enough to sink one.
