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.

Guy Montag is a fireman. Or, rather, he once was. The job of fireman was once a respectable position, nothing to brag about and certainly not something your neighbors liked you for, but the job of fireman was a necessary one. Papers had a tendency of spreading mischief, allowing humans to tear off their everlasting sheaves and print inflammatory posters to post through all the villages, and that behavior just had to be curbed. Granted, there was always collateral damage, but someone had to start the fires.

Of course, that was before. Before Beatty, before the Hound, before the Paper that had sat, shivering, in the corner, begging for mercy. He'd given it, and now he was on the run with Ecclesiastes, his only friend. He doesn't set fires anymore.
