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.

Originally born in the hopes of sending him to a new home to strengthen the alliances of the clan, the pact ended up broken and Eizcawek remained a member of the Burning Red Skies, slowly growing to adulthood under the care of his parents. A brooding one, Eizcawek enjoys a simple life and has a protective nature, content with doing the hard work for the clan, like patrolling territories even in the harshest of weather. It's difficult to talk with him about difficult subjects -he holds no interest in them. Eizcawek has a special bond with Kanjic, a Gemshard dragon that was supposed to be sent with him and with which he has spent his entire childhood and adolescence; even now that they are adult it's not hard to find them playing together.
