Fire Gem Dragons are a colorful, flamboyant breed often found in hot climates, particularly around active volcanoes. Their broad tails store the flames they breathe, which are colored by the heavy amount of minerals in the water they drink. These dragons come in a variety of colors, and will collect shiny trinkets and stones that match their own coloration. Despite their hoarding tendencies, though, Fire Gem dragons are social and will often congregate in groups and show off their collections while fawning over the stones their friends and rivals have gathered, occasionally arranging trades.

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.

Chief Stoneguard is a Chief of Resources for his Clan. More specifically, he is the chief of natural ores and chemicals in his Clan's Main Caverns. He oversees the harvest of natural subterranean resources there, helping to regulate mining operations and keeping track of their hauls.

Remarkably, he himself doesn't spend too much time deep underground; he lives in caverns closer to the surface and relies on the reports of miners. He is a friendly if blunt fellow, often speaking straightforwardly and tending to blatantly state the truth as is.
