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.

Vex Glass has a quick-burning temper, bitter at having denied a life in the wild.  She is only allowed to roam through the grounds if she behaves, otherwise she is kept restrained in her workshop.

With an ancestry involving magis and healers, Vex Glass has an affinity for healing magic and cursing.  Her keepers have put her turquoise flame and spell casting to good use. So she spends her nights melting sand into glass and obsidian. Aided by her apprentice, Smolder Hex, Vex Glass sharpens the glass into lethal blades and then imbues them with curses for the ultimate kill.

Vex Glass also crafts scalpels, the sharpness of glass means very clean fast-healing cuts. With her healing magic , surgeries seldom fail with her scalpels. Because of her spells, her knives and scalpels fetch high prices in the black market.
