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.

No one knows what "subsidy" means. Subsidy doesn't know what "subsidy" means. He just thinks it sounds interesting. Humans probably know what it means, but they're inferior and not worth bothering. Using a language they understand, "sub" means "under", and "sidy" is related to an old word that means "to sit", so it could describe a horse or a chair. It's a fitting name because a lot of humans don't seem to like that word, and they don't like Subsidy either.
