Pyralspite dragons are small, swift dragons that can breathe an intensely hot flame. They get their name from their resemblance to and affinity for garnets of the pyralspite family—they hoard such gems, preferring garnets that match their variant, and can tell the type of garnet from how it tastes. The dark red variant is known as Pyrope. They tend to be fiercely loyal and noble, and have a stronger sense of justice than other Pyralspites. They live primarily in volcanic areas.

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.

Maybe heroic to a fault, Andesine (Ande for short) has all the charisma and valiance of a knight in shining armor. He loves being the center of attention and seemingly does good, heroic deeds simply to achieve that end. It's not an inaccurate assumption. Ande is a glory hound and doesn't take too kindly to anybody wishing to upstage him. While he acts caring and bold on the surface, Ande can be petty, spiteful, and even downright nasty if he feels he's been slighted. Granted, his ego is very obvious to anyone with working eyes and ears, so it's clear as day whenever he's feeling jealous. Though egotistical and arrogant, Ande does stand firmly by a moral code of honor. He only uses violence when it is necessary. He never kills a foe. And, he accepts any challenge, no matter how risky or bold. Ande has an almost suicidal draw to dangerous quests. No task seems too daunting for him! He will dive into any and every mission, flames blazing, and do whatever needs done.
