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.

Hianag Di Wer Fip Arytiss retained some of her father's abilities to pass through panes of reality, which allows her to become nearly invisible in the shadows. She can't fully vanish, like her father, but she can come close to it. This ability has allowed her to pursue her lifelong dream job-crime fighting. She is quite good at ferreting out thieves and robbers and tracking them back to their hideaways, where she ambushes them and takes them to the proper authorities. Both of her parents approve of her noble cause, but her life-mate Deevdru Di Wer Isk Slathalinari isn't so sure that Hianag Di Wer Fip Arytiss should be chasing after bad guys. Nevertheless, Hianag Di Wer Fip Arytiss continues to hunt down law breakers.
