Pyralspite dragons are small, swift dragons that can breathe an intensely hot flame. They get their name from their resemblance to and affinity for garnets of the pyralspite family—they hoard such gems, preferring garnets that match their variant, and can tell the type of garnet from how it tastes. The dark red variant is known as Pyrope. They tend to be fiercely loyal and noble, and have a stronger sense of justice than other Pyralspites. They live primarily in volcanic areas.

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.

Tory Bloodiamond, a self-made business woman, was a force to be reckoned with. She was beautiful, fierce, wealthy, and powerful. She had it all, until she was murdered. Tory was not sure who did it or where they came from, she only remembered waking up dead, white as a ghost. All her red vibrance and fiery passion were gone. Unsure how she could even be aware of this, she sought out another dragon. Not only could they see her, they ran to help given her gaping wounds, and startling pallor. Healing dragons were not sure what happened to her, but thought she survived due to Halloween magic. Tory felt grateful for her luck, and vowed to find her would be murderer.
