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.

Despite his intimidating appearance, Vulcan is actually very soft spoken. He serves as the egg keeper, helping to make sure the eggs stay healthy and warm. Food is brought to him, as he refuses to leave a batch of eggs until they have hatched.

Taking care of the eggs is a bit of a redemption to Vulcan, as he once was a rather proud dragon, challenging anyone who doubted his strength to a duel. His last fight took place in a crowded camp, next to a nursery. The whole thing spelled disaster, but Vulcan refused to back down. One thing led to another, and the 'honorable' duel ended in many rare eggs being crushed under his massive form. Horrified, the Red fled to Wolf, who offered him a place in her clan. He has since given up duels, although his proud aura never faded; even without words it is present.
