Ember Dragons have a great affinity for hot environments. While they themselves are not hot to the touch, their tendency to lurk amongst smoldering ashes has caused many to believe they are fire-starters. Their dully glowing markings serve many purposes: acting as a means of identification between individuals, as an important part of mating displays, and as a way of showing aggression. The long, low build of the breed makes them ungainly in flight, and the thick fleshy membranes of their wings hinder them further. As such, it is rare to see an Ember Dragon take to the air. Ember Dragons are also not particularly sociable; females tend to be defensive, whereas males are more aggressive. Once they have settled with a particular group of dragons, Ember Dragons are incredibly loyal and will defend their pack by any means possible.

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.

Emmbar is a hotheaded, smart-mouthed, overly proud dragon with a fiery temper. She loathes TujaroII for he can always seem to outsmart her at every turn. The one day when she discovered the one dragon she truly loathed had a crush on her was the day when she decided that it was time to take advantage of his infatuation of her. By using her wits to force him to admit his love of her to her face, she would totally humiliate him as she felt he had done to her. Collaborating with many of her magic using friends, together they cast a spell that would project hers and Tujaro II's thoughts to every dragon within range. On the day it was planned, she asked him if he would go on a stroll with her. Then she wormed bits and pieces out until he finally told her and unintentionally every other dragon nearby. After that, he surprised her and gave her a finely polished ruby and asked her to be his mate. This was not supposed to happen. Although a voice in her head told her not to, she replied, yes.
