Crimson Flare Pygmies are named after their small size and speed. They are fast and love to fly up and down in steep climbs and dives, giving the impression of a flare of color in the sky. These dragons travel in swarms during migration seasons and are very social. They live in tropical locations or wherever it is warm, and they are often seen near active volcanoes.

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.

Pygmy dragons are the smallest category of dragons, being on the same scale as domesticated animals. They are often found around concentrated populations of dragons, relying on their larger brethren to ward away potential predators and leave scraps. As such, the majority of a pygmy’s diet is scavenged. Due to their tiny size, pygmies do not breed with larger varieties of dragons.

Whu is a messenger and assistant for Chief Sacredence. Normally, this entails flitting about far and wide to deliver messages for the Chief of Diplomacy; as such, Whu is a very skilled speaker and has a habit of making someone agree with him without even realizing it. Though this means he spends very little time with others of his kind, he still enjoys meeting people from far and wide, even if he's strictly professional about it. When there are no messages to deliver he's usually helping Sacredence organize files or other work. His home is a hanging plant pot in Sacredence's den which was remade into a small and fluffy nest, and Whu hardly has any material possessions of his own. He's always quick to pick up any duty that's needed, and they get along well.
