The Four Quadrants of Basgiath War College
In Rebecca Yarros’s Empyrean novels, entering Basgiath means choosing how you will serve — or die — for Navarre. Cadets do not merely pick a profession; they assimilate into a distinct culture shaped by duty and peril.
Riders Quadrant
The most famous and lethal branch of Basgiath. Riders command the skies astride fearsome dragons, wielding channeled magic and devastating signets. Survival demands relentless physical agility, quick tactical adaptation, and the sheer audacity to stand face-to-face with sovereign beasts.
Riders look down upon danger with grim determination. If you hunger for the rush of flight, value bold instincts under fire, and refuse to let fear dictate your destiny, the parapet calls to you.
Scribes Quadrant
The intellectual vanguard and historical memory of Navarre. Scribes preserve archives, analyze classified intelligence, interpret ancient battle treaties, and safeguard the kingdom’s deepest secrets.
While other cadets train with blades, Scribes wield parchment and ink with lethal precision. Their power lies in truth, memory, and unwavering intellectual clarity. If you value knowledge, question official propaganda, and prefer outthinking your enemies over brute force, your place is among the archives.
Healers Quadrant
The miraculous lifeline that stands between cadets and the grave. In a war college where broken bones, mending burns, and lethal poisonings occur daily, Healers perform the vital work of preserving human life.
Healers possess unmatched emotional stamina, anatomical expertise, and an unwavering commitment to their comrades. If your instinct under catastrophe is to stabilize the wounded and safeguard your squad, the mending wards welcome you.
Infantry Quadrant
The unyielding shield of Navarre that holds the ground when dragons fly elsewhere. Infantry cadets master heavy weaponry, shield wall formations, and grueling hand-to-hand combat.
Without the advantage of dragon scales or channeled signets, the Infantry relies entirely on unshakeable brotherhood, endurance, and gritty determination. If you believe wars are won through unity, discipline, and standing firm on the front line, you belong in the ranks.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does this quiz determine my quadrant?
The four interactive choices above assess your instinct when facing danger, intellectual truth, protective duty, and frontline sacrifice. Your answers reveal which branch of Basgiath fits your character.
Is Fourth Wing itself a quadrant?
No. Fourth Wing is the title of the novel and refers to a tactical wing within the Riders Quadrant (under the command of Wing Leader Xaden Riorson). The four quadrants are Riders, Scribes, Healers, and Infantry.
Can cadets transfer between quadrants?
In rare circumstances, cadets are reassigned before taking the parapet — as seen when Violet Sorrengail was ordered from the Scribes into the Riders Quadrant by General Sorrengail. However, once cadets cross the parapet, transfers are non-existent.
