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.

Embarla Fel is the daughter of Forrow Moonfire and Burning Fel. Embarla was brought up hoping she would take after her mother and be another Nebula Dragon. When she hatched into an Ember dragon Forrow was severely disappointed and wanted nothing more from her, so she left Burning and Embarla for another mate. Embarla is a very shy and misunderstood dragon and is cautious when it comes to Humans and other Dragons. She spends most of her time with her father and her friend, Flamba Gravious. She enjoys diving in lava pits and playing with volcanic rocks.
