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.

Jarsim is another of the primary hunters for Fireflood Weyr. Being an easy-going dragon, he doesn't mind that Rasyo considers him a rival for Pyromancer's affections, as this keeps Rasyo occupied and away from the other female dragons. When not patrolling Fireflood's borders, Jarsim can be found dispensing advice or training new recruits.
