EmberWings is a quarterly magazine that was originally launched by IBPhoenix in March 2024. After the release of three issues, publication was transferred to the Firebird Foundation, where it now serves as the official publication for the Firebird Project.

EmberWings is available for free, but with a 3-month delay for the general public. Regular Firebird Foundation donors get exclusive early access to every new edition upon release​.
