Ember Dragons have a great affinity for hot environments. While they themselves are not hot to the touch, their tendency to lurk amongst smoldering ashes has caused many to believe they are fire-starters. Their dully glowing markings serve many purposes: acting as a means of identification between individuals, as an important part of mating displays, and as a way of showing aggression. The long, low build of the breed makes them ungainly in flight, and the thick fleshy membranes of their wings hinder them further. As such, it is rare to see an Ember Dragon take to the air. Ember Dragons are also not particularly sociable; females tend to be defensive, whereas males are more aggressive. Once they have settled with a particular group of dragons, Ember Dragons are incredibly loyal and will defend their pack by any means possible.

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.

Faneera had been found as a hatchling, wandering around with no memory at all as to where she came from. She only remembered her name. Now, of course it was a little suspicious to find a hatchling just wandering around with no memory, but there really wasn't any harm she could do. After all, she did have a group of older, stronger, wiser Embers to keep her in check. So, the cave she was found near took her in and cared for her. Unfortunately, Faneera had never gotten her memory back. She did, however, grow up to be a fine, young, trusted female Ember that was very loyal to her group, as all Embers become after some time with a certain group. Faneera just became apart of the clan over time and her mysterious history was slowly forgotten because it wasn't important anymore.
