Fire Gem Dragons are a colorful, flamboyant breed often found in hot climates, particularly around active volcanoes. Their broad tails store the flames they breathe, which are colored by the heavy amount of minerals in the water they drink. These dragons come in a variety of colors, and will collect shiny trinkets and stones that match their own coloration. Despite their hoarding tendencies, though, Fire Gem dragons are social and will often congregate in groups and show off their collections while fawning over the stones their friends and rivals have gathered, occasionally arranging trades.

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.

Dr Fire is no doctor—there are specific requirements for a dragon to receive that title—but she is pretty fiery. To her, names are completely unnecessary because she only has to use telepathy to send her exact thoughts to recipients' minds, but no matter how often she explained it to the humans, they refused to accept that, and they named her Dr Fire. You cast a few soothing illusions and healing spells, and they think you're a doctor... She graciously accepts the honorary title anyway. Dr Fire occasionally teases the silly apes for their lack of telepathic ability and their dull brown skins that are unlike her bright, beautiful scales, but she is a nice dragon, so she does not do that too often.
