Hellfire Wyverns are so named for their foul tempers and fiery visages. Their social structure places all females above all males, due to superior physical characteristics and violent dispositions. Forced subservience of the males causes them to become vicious, petty, antisocial, and passive-aggressive compared to the aggressive and social females. However, orphaned hatchlings raised by foster parents of another species can develop surprisingly even tempers and mellow dispositions, proving that their defining unpleasant nature is, in fact, a learned behavior.

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.

Flames of Anger has a terrible secret which, if it were discovered by his fellow dragons, would ruin his reputation. One day, while he was still very young, he met a dragon from a different clan. The other dragon's views on fighting and anger were very different from what Flames was being taught. But he liked the other dragon's reasoning much better and they would converse together at secret meetings. Now Flames hates to fight, and would gladly prefer to settle down with a kind mate. But since his name was chosen for him, he has to put up the front of being mean, angry, and harsh. He hopes that one day, he will be able to live the life he dreams of.
