Ember Dragons have a great affinity for hot environments. While they themselves are not hot to the touch, their tendency to lurk amongst smoldering ashes has caused many to believe they are fire-starters. Their dully glowing markings serve many purposes: acting as a means of identification between individuals, as an important part of mating displays, and as a way of showing aggression. The long, low build of the breed makes them ungainly in flight, and the thick fleshy membranes of their wings hinder them further. As such, it is rare to see an Ember Dragon take to the air. Ember Dragons are also not particularly sociable; females tend to be defensive, whereas males are more aggressive. Once they have settled with a particular group of dragons, Ember Dragons are incredibly loyal and will defend their pack by any means possible.

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.

Emberlin is quite the destructive one. She loves to watch the burning flames of wildfires. Emberlin flies around nearby volcanoes, diving down dangerously close to the magma. Most of the wildfires are blamed on Emberlin, but really she didn't start the fire, unless she was raging. Which explains her terrible temper. Flames would crawl down her back, her eyes glow with red rage, and she would burn everything in sight. So, the fire could have started from Emberlin, but nobody ever gets her angry. A happy Emberlin means a happy cave and forest!
