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.

Named after a goddess of life and death, Kali's personality is anything but violent. Kali came to the Brackenridge Aerie early on in her life. Even-tempered and intelligent with a warm, dry wit, she's become the cave's unofficial security guard, patrolling the mountainside along with several of the cave's blacks.

Somewhere along the line, she either was charmed by Mercury's unapologetically vain approach, took pity on the poor sap and accepted his unrelenting advances, or accepted his advances to stop him from hitting on everyone else in the cave because it was really getting irritating. Nobody is really sure (Mercury insists it's because he's the prettiest), but Mercury and Kali's daughter, Lhindae, is the apple of her eye.
