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.

Count Your Blessings keeps a scroll of her own, deep within her cave. In it, each night before bed, she writes a long list of the things she is thankful for, her blessings. They include simple things like food and shelter, small things like insects and flowers, and much bigger things like the sun and the rain. Occasionally something random will appear in the list, like the day Count Your Blessings was thankful for not falling off a cliff and the time she didn't trip over her own four feet. No one else ever gets to read these lists, but Count Your Blessings enjoys looking them over now and again.
