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.

When this dragon entered this strange and complex world, he lived with his family on the island of Dragesta. When he was a small egg he lived in a large cave with his mother, his father and his brother. One day the island was attacked by dragon hunters so they had to leave the island. But when the mother dragon was carrying to egg it dropped and rolled into a pool of lava. The mother was filled with tears but had to leave. The egg's brother was caught but the mother and father got away. A few weeks later a traveler came to the island to catch a rare breed of dragon. He found the egg and took it home. He kept it warm and cared for. But sadly the traveler died and to a twist of fate it turned out that a little girl who loved dragons was his cousin so she looked after the egg. It hatched soon after the death and was a beautiful boy Ember dragon. He was soon an adult and was much loved by everyone who knew him.
