Pyralspite dragons are small, swift dragons that can breathe an intensely hot flame. They get their name from their resemblance to and affinity for garnets of the pyralspite family—they hoard such gems, preferring garnets that match their variant, and can tell the type of garnet from how it tastes. The dark red variant is known as Pyrope. They tend to be fiercely loyal and noble, and have a stronger sense of justice than other Pyralspites. They live primarily in volcanic areas.

Dragons are highly-intelligent reptilian creatures that—from a human perspective, at least—appear to live forever. Many different varieties of dragon exist, each with their own unique qualities, habitats, and behavior. Adolescence in dragons is usually marked by the growth of a hatchling’s wings, although not all breeds of dragons grow wings and some breeds have other traits that indicate the beginning of maturation. In Galsreim, dragons and humans coexist peacefully.

Aximili-Esgarrouth-Ishill was prepared for the fight that the Dragonmorphs were fighting before the group formed. He always intended to be in the clan that his 'brother', not connected by family but he always felt that way to Aximili, was in. For a variety of reasons, Aximili feels like an outsider. While he feels almost alien at times, he does his best to provide information to the group that it would be extremely hard for them to obtain any other way.
