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.

Heart's Blood, or H.B. as she's come to be called, was named in honor of her grandmother; she's one of the six Elders who lead the Elders Clan. Of all the Northern Clans, Elders is the largest, undivided clan and the best known. With an estimated six hundred plus members (not all of which are documented upon this scroll), there are high expectations for the Six and their families.

H.B.'s name was well chosen. She bears most of the traits her grandmother possesses. She's a resilient, moody, bossy, iron-willed and occasionally self-righteous young hen. She fiercely values her family, as big and odd as it may be, and is highly aggressive.

However, unlike her predecessor, H.B. is fairly cruel. She doesn't have the fair, lofty standards Heart's Blood is known for. In the war versus Creorluna, H.B. has no discretion and no mercy. She often doesn't finish off her victims but rather injures them mortally and then lets them bleed out alone.
