Red Dragons are similar to typical story book dragons. They shoot flames, can fly, etc. However, they aren’t evil creatures as depicted in myths and won’t go around raiding castles, killing knights, or kidnapping princesses. They live in a variety of habitats, from forests to coastlines to abandoned castles, usually in warm climates, and eat whatever living creatures they can find.

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.

Returning from one of his many unexplained ventures away from the isle, Mydako again delivered an egg to the cave. Again he offered no reason why, but Lady Nerruse accepted his gift with her usual good humor. Keipi's Big Red is, rather ironically, small for his kind, with pink wings and belly inherited from his father, a sharp contrast to the dark scales of the others. He is a sweet, emotional dragon who loves to sing in his rich, deep timbre. His clanmates are often the subjects of his songs, such as his soaring rendition of the Trial of Drace Firetail, or the much more lighthearted Ballad of Amadore the White. At night he visits the hatchlings to croon lullabies.
