Ember Dragons have a great affinity for hot environments. While they themselves are not hot to the touch, their tendency to lurk amongst smoldering ashes has caused many to believe they are fire-starters. Their dully glowing markings serve many purposes: acting as a means of identification between individuals, as an important part of mating displays, and as a way of showing aggression. The long, low build of the breed makes them ungainly in flight, and the thick fleshy membranes of their wings hinder them further. As such, it is rare to see an Ember Dragon take to the air. Ember Dragons are also not particularly sociable; females tend to be defensive, whereas males are more aggressive. Once they have settled with a particular group of dragons, Ember Dragons are incredibly loyal and will defend their pack by any means possible.

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.

Ancient Lies is a female Ember dragon with a self-appointed mission. She wants to crush the myths and falsehoods surrounding dragons, once and for all. However, there are many obstacles in her path. Some dragons still make a habit of burning villages and eating cattle, while others claim that the superstitions surrounding dragons keep them from having their lands invaded by humans. Lies says that it only causes the senseless slaying of dragons by ignorant humans.

   Ancient Lies lives in a small cave in a volcano called "The Mouth Of Thorn". She keeps several piles of scrolls and various items aiding her quest to extinguish these lies. When Lies isn't questing for truth, she can be found hunting or running. She is a strong dragon, and can run for miles before tiring.

   Ancient Lies is determined to decimate the lies that have caused humans to fear dragons for centuries. She has a helping claw to offer to any dragon willing for the truth to be finally revealed.
