Royal Crimson Dragons are so named due to their massive size and confident, regal bearing. Most of the time they are laid back, ignoring non-prey creatures smaller than themselves, although they will occasionally take fresh kills from other dragons as a reminder of their place in the social order. Although there are few other dragons large enough to pose a threat to Royal Crimsons, they have little tolerance for potential rivals and will fiercely defend their territory from such intruders.

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.

Somehow, somewhere along the way, Aemrath did something horrible, which earned her the title "The Bloodthirsty." No one who can remember will speak of it. But it was known all over that Amerath was dangerous, and a threat.

Recently, however, Aemrath was observed returning to Chervecryd's lair. Onlookers expected her to attack the wise dragon, but instead she bowed to him. Observers were too far away to truly gauge the exchange, but since that day Aemrath has been known as "The Redeemed."
