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.

Fialia is a fierce protector of her clan. She is known for killing any dragon that harms anyone that she cares about. She is also a servant of the Western Volcano that erupts every June, and the 26th. Fialia was brought to the clan when several dragon children were dying. Fialia is one of the only survivors. Not all of the hatchlings were dying from the disease, but many were murdered for prey. The Uncita clan had nothing to do with this. Fialia saved two of the hatchlings, but one died recently. Fialia is an excellent hunter, and often performs random attacks on her favorite prey. She prefers to bask in the sunlight rather than the moon.
