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.

Seon always wanted the love of his father. However, Eture is the leader, and has never had the time to pay any special attention to his first son. Seon's mother was always there for him, but she is a calm and gentle gatherer while Seon is an aggressive hunter. She would try to comfort her son, but he always felt misunderstood. Seon spent much of his time in a fiery rage, violently throwing himself at anything that moved. Later, his mother and father had another child, a boy named Tacam. Tacam was like his mother though, gentle and relaxed. Seon could spar with Tacam, and although Tacam wasn't quite an even competitor, it always calmed Seon down. He still never has gotten quite the attention he wanted from his dad.
