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.

Allegri is calm and reserved, a strange thing for a Spitfire. He's delicate in his glass-sand sculptures, and recently, an older dragon Giraka has come to extend her glassy sand mountains over near his sculptures, and slides along observing when she thinks no one is there.

Most of the sculptures seem to be of dragons he's seen. There's one of Lewy, a crippled Horse Dragon, and a comical one of Merekobaen, a Shallow Water, pursuing another Shallow Water, Slimber. He's even made a statue of his owner.

But the most detailed statue of all is not of anything living, but a tall, twisting spire that reaches even higher than Giraka's peaks. Higher than Erlkin's (another Spitfire's) magnifying tower. It shows tiny carvings of each and every dragon, spiraling up and onwards.

The owner thinks Allegri may reach the moon.
