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.

On every good map of the desert Aob there is an area marked 'Saalgrad's Kingdom'. Saalgrad is, of course, not a monarch per se, he is more of a packleader of a group of spitfire dragons. Hardly anybody who entered his territory lived to tell the tale. His hide has been described as so tattered with scars, his original color pattern is no longer discernible. There is a sizeable amount of gold in store for anyone who manages to defeat him.

It has become a trend among young knights to seek out Salgraad's territory in hopes of slaying him to prove themselves worthy of their title.

More experienced knights say that the only thing they prove themselves to be is fools.

History shows all they turned out to be was dead.

Do not engage under any circumstance.
