Magma Dragons are capable of withstanding the intense temperatures of their element. They live in volcanic regions, their bodies coated in the red hot magma which clings to their scales. They must leave the lava fields in order to hunt, although they require surprisingly little food to sustain their lumbering mass.

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.

Baskina and Life-Song's new territory, the Kingdoms of the Keepers, three human siblings were born: Peiter, Posy, and Pluto. Along with their dragon companions, were destined to overthrow Baskina and each take rule in one of the three kingdoms. After the war, each of the three leaders renamed their lands in their dragons' honor.

A'orth is as cruel and unforgiving as the underground kingdom Pluto rules, yet the two rarely see eye to eye. They often have arguments over what is best for their people. Pluto does try to be a good king, but A'orth brings out the worst in him. He leads his human companion to rule with an iron fist and think only of power and his enemies' blood. It was A'orth who pushed to Pluto form an alliance with Baskina, even though he knew it would mean the death of his brother, Peiter, and the fall of his kingdom, Alypium; in turn hurting the kingdom of A'orth. Many believe that Pluto and all three of the Kingdoms would be better off without his cold-hearted dragon.
