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.

From a ball of fire he rose, strong and triumphant. Anger and hate burned in his crimson eyes, as he surfaced from the prison of demons. Fire was his only companion, hate and loathing fueling a burning desire for evil. Revenge sat coiled in his blackened heart, his soul shredded from his past doings. He walks with a deadened grace, scars of past wrongs screaming to him for all eternity. His roar is an echo of deeds which cannot be undone, his bite condemns those to his torture, bound to him forever. He is from the place humans dread, and lives among the fallen and the mortal, the living world and the realm of misery.
