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.

Emberkeeper, as his name suggests, is the guardian of a underground volcano located under a nice, peaceful forest. His job is to guard the outside of the volcano and make sure to send a warning to his pack (located in the forest above) if it were to erupt. Ember is young and a bit arrogant, but still very loyal to his pack and master. Unlike most dragons, Ember doesn't fly, he mostly stays underground and watches for intruders, but he will occasionally, he will go outside and spread his wings to get some fresh air. Though, this of course gets him wired up because the volcano is unguarded, but he still enjoys the air once every while.
