Red Dragons are similar to typical story book dragons. They shoot flames, can fly, etc. However, they aren’t evil creatures as depicted in myths and won’t go around raiding castles, killing knights, or kidnapping princesses. They live in a variety of habitats, from forests to coastlines to abandoned castles, usually in warm climates, and eat whatever living creatures they can find.

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.

Geiwurus rules the Ress syndicate with an infernal temper, two impressive horns and an iron claw. Once a feared clan who needed an entire cave to store their hoard, its status since Geiwurus became leader dwindled to the point that Geiwurus banned all members from leaving, in case none were left.<br/>The cause may have been the plan Geiwurus proposed not long after taking over. The traditional method was threatening to injure an outsider dragon if they did not surrender a portion of their gold; this became less foolproof as the Ress' notoriety grew. Geiwurus reasoned that he could reverse the trend by threatening NOT to injure the "client" if they did not surrender some of their gold. The clan's intake plummeted within days. This was when Geiwurus put his current plan into operation, where Ress members instead promised to injure them only after being given gold.<br/>Geiwurus insists that his theories were sound, blaming the clan. In total, he has survived twelve assassination attempts.
