Harvest Dragons are a large, flightless breed most often found in heavily forested mountains. Normally shy, these omnivorous dragons keep to themselves in remote regions, but in the fall they descend from their high territory to search for food—and lots of it. During the autumn months, harvest dragons will eat whatever they can find, from large and small animals to nuts and fruit. In the winter they retreat into large caves and hibernate until spring, living off the fat they have built up.

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.

Carnelian is an intelligent, sprightly, animated soul who enjoys being around others and listens well. She often complains about being a little overweight, but the other dragons ignore her, knowing well enough that she'll sleep it off in the winter. Carnelian has many friends and is respected for her social skill as well as her intellect. Her mate is Redfang Hearthunter the Black Marrow dragon, although many of the others find it hard to imagine that.
