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.

Found alone in the wilderness by Noble as a hatchling, Squire believes that his destiny and his duty is to serve the elder Red dragon. Regardless of Noble's objections, he is often found shadowing his savior protectively, blissfully unaware of her contempt for other Red dragons. Thus far, Noble has tolerated his presence—perhaps it is a relief for her to have finally found the company of one who can overlook her faults.
