Spitfires are a desert breed of dragon. Their dull brown bodies contrast with their brilliant turquoise markings, and they only blaze brighter when these dragons fight. Spitfires are notorious for their territorial natures, and the wing-edges of most are ripped and tattered before their first year is out. Spitfires are also noteworthy for their brilliant blue fire, which is used not for hunting or fighting, but rather for making glass caves from the sand, in which the dragons can soak up the sun.

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.

Zivania is a handler and PR manager for Statheri the gorgon bard, whom he thinks really should have chosen a different career path. Well, when he first started this job, he thought that, but now, his view of her character is more positive. He admires his employer's determination and believes her music is pretty interesting and unique, deserving of more attention. Also, unlike any previous clients, Statheri pays him on time. Zivania's Stone-bane "Glass"es of his own invention protect him without fail, though his client's audience aren't all so fortunate. Every accident involves a lot of explaining on Zivania's part. His ferocity and hardheadedness probably help him in negotiations.
