Spitfires are a desert breed of dragon. Their dull brown bodies contrast with their brilliant turquoise markings, and they only blaze brighter when these dragons fight. Spitfires are notorious for their territorial natures, and the wing-edges of most are ripped and tattered before their first year is out. Spitfires are also noteworthy for their brilliant blue fire, which is used not for hunting or fighting, but rather for making glass caves from the sand, in which the dragons can soak up the sun.

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.

Tabernas is quite territorial and a bit on the grumpy side. Ever since Accona left him, he refuses to let anyone into his den, where he keeps glass-art so beautiful it could make any dragon's heart break. He simply can't understand what he did wrong or what he could have done differently, and he channels his sorrow into fragile, filigree work. He could probably live a very comfortable life if he traded some of his pieces, but he doesn't want to share these pieces of his broken soul with anyone.
