Threshing begins
What is the Dragonkind Threshing Day game?
In Rebecca Yarros's Empyrean series, Threshing is the day first-year cadets in the Riders Quadrant walk into the Vale and the dragons decide who is worthy. Some cadets bond. Some do not come back. In the books, Threshing always falls on October 1.
Fittingly, on October 1, 2026, alongside the Threshing Day book, Rebecca Yarros launched Dragonkind, an official choose-your-own-adventure Threshing game at dragonkind.com. It needs an email sign-up, and if a dragon burns you, you wait four hours to try again.
This site is a fan-made companion to the Dragonkind Threshing Day game: a quick Threshing quiz that sorts you into a wing, section and squad, lets you retry the moment you get burned, plus guides for the official game. Read the full Dragonkind game guide.
Dragon colors you can bond
There are six dragon colors in the Threshing quiz. Here is what each one says about you.
Orange Dragon
Unpredictable and impossible to ignore.
You thrive on chaos and improvisation. Plans are suggestions, and you are at your best when nobody, including you, knows what comes next.
Brown Dragon
Never show a brown your fear.
You are the one the squad leans on. Loyal, grounded and patient, you would rather outlast a problem than rush it.
Green Dragon
Logic over impulse.
You think before you move. Where other cadets panic, you read the terrain, weigh the odds and pick the smartest path through the Vale.
Blue Dragon
Massive, ruthless and feared.
You carry yourself with quiet intensity. You do not need the spotlight, but anyone who threatens your people learns how sharp you are.
Black Dragon
The rarest bond in the Vale.
You were not supposed to survive this, and you did anyway. Black dragons choose riders others underestimate, and they rarely choose at all.
