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.

Dragons live a very long time, but not forever. Eventually, something will kill them, sooner or later. Live After Death is a very fortunate dragon in some ways and not so fortunate in others. Her name reflects having been once, briefly, dead. As a young dragon, she was driven by a desire to exist forever, so much so that she was willing to risk death to achieve her goals. On the night of restless ghosts, the Spitfire allowed herself to be killed. Then her ally and accomplice Lurhstaap, helped by the Coven of Reds and other magically potent dragons, executed the Zombie Ritual to bring her back. She was supposed to come back as an undead dragon, her existence fueled by Death mana and effectively immortal. However, maybe due to all the extra magic in that ritual, it worked better than it was meant to. The Spitfire was returned wholly to life as a normal dragon! And having been through the Ritual once it will never work on her again. She has no choice now but to accept her mortality.
