Royal Crimson Dragons are so named due to their massive size and confident, regal bearing. Most of the time they are laid back, ignoring non-prey creatures smaller than themselves, although they will occasionally take fresh kills from other dragons as a reminder of their place in the social order. Although there are few other dragons large enough to pose a threat to Royal Crimsons, they have little tolerance for potential rivals and will fiercely defend their territory from such intruders.

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.

It is said that Toxidle is so named because she has a toxic personality. She is short tempered, head-strong and argumentative—though not beyond buttering up others to get what she wants. She is conniving, but not mischievous. Still, she is often the center of conflicts. As such, she butts heads quite often with Gieren. They are polar opposites—ice and fire (or poison, as it were). Gieren and Toxidle will probably never get along.
