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.

When Rhyka the Scarlet heard about Bavin the Blue and her band of nilias, she decided that what the group of adventurers needed was a little conflict to make their lives more interesting. She'd read all of Gyzak's role-games, so she knew exactly what was called for. Bavin the Blue had set herself up as a sort of mysterious mentor to the nilias, so Rhyka would be the equally enigmatic rival. For minions, she chose misfit pygmies, as they could be relied upon for (mostly) harmless fun. After dropping unsubtle hints about her latest scheme, Rhyka will show up at opportune times to cackle evilly and deliver villainous monologues. She's always careful to make sure nobody gets hurt, because the point is for everyone to have fun.
