Spitfires are a desert breed of dragon. Their dull brown bodies contrast with their brilliant turquoise markings, and they only blaze brighter when these dragons fight. Spitfires are notorious for their territorial natures, and the wing-edges of most are ripped and tattered before their first year is out. Spitfires are also noteworthy for their brilliant blue fire, which is used not for hunting or fighting, but rather for making glass caves from the sand, in which the dragons can soak up the sun.

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.

Zhirodor is a young, inexperienced Spitfire still in training. He already knows quite a bit, but not enough. At the moment, he's working on building full glass caves. He's already learned the art of making glass out of sand, now he just needs to master shaping the sand into useful things of glass, like caves for instance. Unfortunately, if he were in the wild at the moment, he would be sleeping outside for fear of having his cave collapse on top of him. Oh well. He'll get better. Zhirodor is still working on it.
