Crimson Flare Pygmies are named after their small size and speed. They are fast and love to fly up and down in steep climbs and dives, giving the impression of a flare of color in the sky. These dragons travel in swarms during migration seasons and are very social. They live in tropical locations or wherever it is warm, and they are often seen near active volcanoes.

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.

Pygmy dragons are the smallest category of dragons, being on the same scale as domesticated animals. They are often found around concentrated populations of dragons, relying on their larger brethren to ward away potential predators and leave scraps. As such, the majority of a pygmy’s diet is scavenged. Due to their tiny size, pygmies do not breed with larger varieties of dragons.

Everyone in Nworset dreads the coming of Daylight Savings Tim. Whenever powerful chronomancers (most often the Love Song chronoxenowyrms are at fault) have added or subtracted time from a day, Tim has the duty of telling those in the affected area to update their clocks—or, if it was particularly serious, calendars. Tim has an abnormal telepathic cortex that makes his thoughts particularly loud and piercing so that it is hard to miss. However, it doesn't make it any easier for anyone to re-calibrate to the new time.

Since Tim's main job is erratic, he can often be talked into doing odd jobs where someone tiny is required. Cvunhu often calls on him to do detailing and fine talon-painting. Tim is also a good friend of Haikutie.
