Hellhorse Dragons are foul-tempered, spirited creatures with tempestuous and violent dispositions. Torrents of scorching flames erupt from their bodies and can easily set their surroundings ablaze. Highly aggressive and territorial toward other dragon species, Hellhorses will tolerate others as long as they believe the association to be beneficial. Such alliances are tenuous in nature and frequently short-lived, as the slightest disagreement can easily escalate into a full-out brawl.

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.

Grandchild of the Jewel, the only sapphire scaled prize dragon known to exist, and Winya, one of only three hellhorses born wild, Amethyst has been spoiled and swooned over ever since the day of her birth due to her lineage. But rare blood does not pure heart make, the young dragon not hesitating in the slightest to bully, butcher, or betray any who stand between her and her dreams of power. The cruelty she used her influence to achieve caused great distress to her parents and predecessors, climaxing in a botched attempt to imprison her until she could learn the ways of peace. Making swift retreat to the mountains in the wake of that battle, she now presides over a small but growing cult devoted to her beauty, mining powerful mana crystals from deep within the dark and looking always with greedy eyes back towards the lands of her birth.
