Spitfires are a desert breed of dragon. Their dull brown bodies contrast with their brilliant turquoise markings, and they only blaze brighter when these dragons fight. Spitfires are notorious for their territorial natures, and the wing-edges of most are ripped and tattered before their first year is out. Spitfires are also noteworthy for their brilliant blue fire, which is used not for hunting or fighting, but rather for making glass caves from the sand, in which the dragons can soak up the sun.

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.

James Carter was once a leader of the cave. He attempted to give dragons more gold and to combat the forging of less than pure gold. He bought a lot of scroll space and dedicated it to wildlife, since a lot of dragons tend to eat a lot of wildlife. He helped bring the two scrolls, Isdragonreal and Edragongypt, together in the Camp Dragon Agreement. Idragonran captured some dragons from Carter's scroll, but through his negotiations, the dragons were let go.
