Carmine Wyverns are active predators found most commonly in tropical regions. They have a poor sense of smell and are primarily dependent on sight and sound to hunt. These dragons are lightweight and quick, and tend to flee from rivals rather than attempt to fight. When a confrontation does occur it usually involves large amounts of posturing and displaying to make the wyverns appear larger and stronger than their opponents, and one will often surrender and leave without a fight ever actually occurring. They are dedicated parents and usually mate for life, though the degree of loyalty to a partner varies between individuals and within individual pairings.

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.

Glingal Rosecrown is not like the majority of her clanmates. Despite her being an average Carmine Wyvern, she has picked up a habit unusual for her breed, hoarding. Her den is packed with gold, jewels, and anything else shiny and eye-catching, including numerous objects that do not belong to her. While her habit may seem selfish, Glingal tries her hardest not to be, often sharing what she has and returning 'misplaced' objects that other dragons have identified as theirs. When she isn't collecting things or enjoying flight, she can be found with her nest-mates, Bard and Paladin.
