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.

Redmother is the eldest of the Skyblazers. Her origins are unknown, but long, long ago, it is said that she united the first members of the Skyblazer dragonclan. This group of older dragons kept to themselves for a long time, until one day they found the dragon paradise. It was at that time that Redmother opened her wings to young dragons who were lost or abandoned. After that the Skyblazer Clan grew in numbers.  To this day, all dragons living among the Skyblazers simply refer to Redmother as "Mother". Aside from the First Followers, she treats all her clanmates equally as if they were her own hatchlings.
