Magma Dragons are capable of withstanding the intense temperatures of their element. They live in volcanic regions, their bodies coated in the red hot magma which clings to their scales. They must leave the lava fields in order to hunt, although they require surprisingly little food to sustain their lumbering mass.

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.

Axel Filibuster, known more commonly as "The Flurry of Flames", is a sly, witty, and sarcastic dragon known for being two-faced and unpredictable, just like the fire he wields. His missions usually deal with going undercover with rival factions and systematically taking them out from within.

Recently, Axel has been running off-the-record missions for his hatcher at an obscure castle over in another kingdom. No one knows what he's been doing, and he adamantly refuses to say anything on the matter besides that his hatcher has sworn him to secrecy.

Axel's nickname comes from the uncharacteristic speed and agility he displays in fighting, whirling about in a dance of incineration and devastation.
