Amarignis Dragons are benign creatures, known for the brilliant flames veiling their backs. These flames are a manifestation of positive emotions present both within the dragon and in minds of those in their territory. Those with the most radiant flames are seen as the most beautiful—consequently, assuring happiness in their territory is a priority for an Amarignis, through a variety of means such as charming ballads, gifts and aid. As creatures with a fiery disposition (and perhaps a touch of vanity) adults compete with each other for territory to enhance their looks. While this can be achieved through conventional means like aggression, most charges of an Amarignis do not take well to a foreign Amarignis fighting the dragon that is so kind to them. Thus, to augment their allure, individuals gain territory from each other in a game of out-charming their inhabitants to gain their favor and positive energy. A settlement with a fervent Amarignis is a sign of happiness and well-being.

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.

Rurikawa considers her claimed territory to be quite special, as her domain overlaps with a bustling tradesman town full of talented artisans. To maintain the brilliance of her flames, Ruri is constantly visiting the town's tailors and jewelers, ensuring that they are never wanting for more materials, customers, or renown. This sometimes means long nights studying court fashions, frequent trips to search for precious metals and gems, and daily queues of apprentices asking for advice on sewing or design. Sometimes during these errands, the townspeople give Ruri clothing and jewelry as thanks for her assistance. Ruri is all too willing to strut around the town wearing these gifts, and will happily sing the praises of the town's artisans to any tourists passing through.
