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.

Pyropeth TrueFate (after the gemstone: Pyrope Garnet) became the 135th Clan Mystal dragon, a guarded and well kept secret and gift from the Lady Nerruse, another of The Clan Mother's newfound friends. As the story is told, while she was away tending to broken ties and broken down communication, a dialogue was quietly begun with the clan elders. After long hours and through a variety of challenges, he finally arrived into the clan cave, already a hatchling, to await the return of a very surprised and delighted Clan Mother. Through all the gushing and attention, and the constant wave of visitors, there was but one who caught his attention beyond all others, Pyropeck TrueBurst. If there is such a thing as love at first site, this is certainly such a case, and from the very first moment he gazed upon her, he was entranced. He spends his every waking moment striving to prove to her his worth, hoping to gain her affections and to one day bond with her as mate forever more.
