Avatars of Destruction possess a volatile disposition. They thrive on chaos and decay, and their horns and plated scales are as hard as forged metal. Because of their affinity with darkness and the destructive forces of nature, it was once thought that these dragons were omens of ill fortune.

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.

Refith uses his affinity with darkness and the destructive forces of nature to predict disasters such as forest fires and floods and then attempts to warn people about the impending danger. However, since this means that he is seen shortly before the disasters that he tries to warn people about, they think that he is the cause of said disasters. Because of this, Refith has no clan and is forced to keep moving, stealing food where he can from the edges of other clans' hunting grounds.
