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.

Whenever the rhythmic thudding of her pawsteps are heard, both people and dragons alike flee in terror from the path of destruction that Lyreix leaves in her wake. She never meant to be the monster everyone believes her to be; she is simply clumsy. Between her imposing figure and nonexistent sense of balance, she tends to leave ruins wherever she goes. It hurts her where arrows never could to see that others are afraid of her. She has taken to living in an abandoned desert town where there is no risk of inadvertently destroying homes or even killing the odd human. Lyreix has tried to make the best of her forced solitude but every time she closes her eyes and hears those terrified screams she is only reminded of the monster she will always be.
