== Species Notes ==

The Ironwing (Russian: Железное Крыло) was one of three parent strands used in the breeding of the [[Longwing]], the other two being the British [[Sharpspitter]] and the French [[Honneur-d'Or]]. Presumably, because the breed name ends "-wing"; a convention so far only seen in breeds with unusual wing features, it could be that the Longwing breed inherited its titular wings from this breed.

It is unknown what features the Ironwing displays, though it is possible that [[Vosyem]] and [[Tri]] could be Ironwings.

[[Vosyem]] and [[Tri]], according to [[Temeraire]]'s observations, looked "very imposing...despite their size, they demonstrated a remarkable speed. Their steel-taloned claws and long necks lashed out very much as though...there was gunpowder lit behind them. But as they demonstrated their fighting qualities, for the most part, by quarreling with one another and knocking about the smaller beasts...they were all outrageously quarrelsome with one another, at least the heavy-weights were." (''Blood of Tyrants'', p. 337-340)

Temeraire noticed that there didn't seem to be very many of [[Vosyem]] and [[Tri]]'s breed, and all had wounds of some sort that had not been treated properly. At least three had pistol-balls still lodged into their hides.
