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.

Rage burns deep within Vokano. His life has always been a is "eat or be eaten" world. His mother abandoned him for reason Vokano does not understand... but that was the first spark of his anger. Ever since he is constantly lusting for the taste of death from prey. He hunts even when he is not hungry just to contain his anger. If Vokano goes one day without hunting, he goes into a rage and rips anything he sees. When confronted with other dragons, he kills then asks questions later. Because of this many tend to avoid him. It is unknown whether Vokano trusted any dragon but himself. It is also unknown what his "real" source of anger came from.
