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.

Clockwork Anarchy was so named for the pattern of magma-red cracks glowing on her body. They form vague shapes of Roman numbers and clocks, but the thing about them is that they aren't simple to see or to read. It's like nature went out of its way to make them demented, twisted in shape, numbers and shapes turning on each other to form a confusing maze of seemingly-magma-hot cracks.

They're barely recognizable, but you can still make out the main lines, and that's all you really need to see what they meant, in naming her Clockwork Anarchy. An apocryphal myth says that she has the ability to alter time, to see into the future and past. To see what you have done, to see what you will do. To change events that would've ruined lives, and to ruin lives. Other stories say that the only way to kill her is to manipulate time and exploit almost nonexistent glitches in the space-time continuum.

And although she doesn't say the rumors are true, she doesn't deny them either.
