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.

Searing has always been in a bit of a rush. Her name comes from when she was learning how to cook with the other hatchlings of Nadat's cave around her age, and would only cook the very outside so that it looked done. Other things were equally sloppy: her treasure pile was spread out and therefore wasn't as comfy as it could be, she couldn't take off from standing and always had to use a cliff. That changed somewhat when she became an adult and started to work on bettering herself, but she still hates how long it takes to cook anything.
