Species Notes
According to Sir Edward Howe, the Longwing's ancestors are the Sharpspitter, a small, low-flying English breed and the Ironwing, a Russian breed. Longwing's were traditionally very picky about their captains. Sometime around the reign of Queen Elizabeth I it was discovered that they took to female captains more readily, so now women are trained in the corps specifically for Longwing service.
