Hellfire Wyverns are so named for their foul tempers and fiery visages. Their social structure places all females above all males, due to superior physical characteristics and violent dispositions. Forced subservience of the males causes them to become vicious, petty, antisocial, and passive-aggressive compared to the aggressive and social females. However, orphaned hatchlings raised by foster parents of another species can develop surprisingly even tempers and mellow dispositions, proving that their defining unpleasant nature is, in fact, a learned behavior.

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.

Hellfire Hisser is the Leader of The Tribe. This is because she is the best hunter, the best fighter and the most dedicated member. She is in charge of looking after the whole group and seeing off other groups who want to invade. She has both the fiery aggressive side of her breed and the kind, motherly side of a leader. Her position was given to her by the Founder of the Tribe- Sleet-wing, who didn't want to take the position herself. Instead she acts like a mentor to Hellfire.
