Hellfire Wyverns are so named for their foul tempers and fiery visages. Their social structure places all females above all males, due to superior physical characteristics and violent dispositions. Forced subservience of the males causes them to become vicious, petty, antisocial, and passive-aggressive compared to the aggressive and social females. However, orphaned hatchlings raised by foster parents of another species can develop surprisingly even tempers and mellow dispositions, proving that their defining unpleasant nature is, in fact, a learned behavior.

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.

Born carefree and wild, this female has been neither free nor happy for many long years. Captured shortly after birth by a most vicious cult, she was beaten and abused until all notions that she deserved freedom had long since been given up, the young female turned into a submissive and cringing thing that believed she had no purpose in life but to serve humans. She serves now as a soldier in an army of dragons, amassed by the cult to destroy their enemies, obediently destroying and killing at a word from her masters... Yet, through it all, she remembers something sweeter than war and slavery, and begins slowly to recant on a belief ingrained in her since scarce days after birth.
