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.

Mavef has always believed that whatever Roaring Lion Productions can do, Future Era Productions can do ten times as well. Roaring Lion Productions made short serials about heroic dragons, but his theatrical group would make whole series of plays about them. The first few were disasters, disowned even by the actors who performed in them, but recently he's found success with the Spectaculars.

Tasverak plays Thunderstrike, an exiled prince from a far-distant weyr. He has the power to call down lightning bolts, though in a rare moment of consideration for the overworked illusionists (and his fellow actors, who never asked to be living lightning rods), his stories usually render him powerless early on. When not battling his adopted brother, the black dragon Trickster, Thunderstrike struggles to come to terms with modern draconic society. When feeling particularly whimsical, Tasverak will adopt his Thunderstrike persona to interact with fans, who love his over-the-top nature.
