Of all the special dragon abilities, none is more valued at wartime than fire breathing. No native British dragon had the ability to breathe fire, so the Aerial Corps made procuring one a priority. In 1794, Aerial Corps tried to buy one of the fire-breathers from the Inca Empire, but the Inca refused the offer. They finally succeeded when Iskierka, a Kazilik was successfully harnessed by John Granby. Laurence had previously recounting seeing an allied Turkish Kazilik breathe fire during the Battle of the Nile.
Known fire-breathers:
-Napoleon Bonaparte has several fire breathing dragons in his army as the Flamme-de-Gloire breed is native to that land. The most notable is Accendare, who fought against Temeraire shortly before the start of his journey to China.
-The Flecha-del-Fuego of Spain.
-The Tswana Kingdom has at least one fire breathing dragon. But the normal tswana fire-dragons have too cold and too less fire to be useful in combat.
-The Inca have a breed capable of breathing fire but the size, appearance and the name of the breed are not known. These dragons too have too cold, short and less fire to be useful in combat. They tend to heat the smith's fire.
-Turkish Kazilik are the only known Heavyweight breed to be capable of fire. They issue steam regularly from their many spines and as such their bodies tend to be wet and slick.
Fire breathing is very deadly to ships, as uncontrolled fire will spread on a ship's deck, light her sails and ignite her ammunition, causing the ship to blow to flinders by it's own magazines.
Fire breathers all have a very difficult character, due to the breeding process and their ability but they all have good flying abilities. Fire breathing has nothing to do with normal breathing. Dragons can breath and breath fire at the same time. Nor has it to do with sneezing or coughing (we have never met a dragon with hiccup). Maybe all European fire breathing breeds derived from one Roman breed that spread over Turkey, Spain and France where the Roman influence was the greatest. That would explain why the Prussians, Britons, Autrichians and Russians have no fire breathers. If that is so, however, Austrians should have had at least some fire-breathers, as southern Austria, Slovenia and Croatia, as well as Western Hungary, all part of the Austrian Empire at the time, occupy lands once owned by the Roman Empire.
