Red Dragons are similar to typical story book dragons. They shoot flames, can fly, etc. However, they aren’t evil creatures as depicted in myths and won’t go around raiding castles, killing knights, or kidnapping princesses. They live in a variety of habitats, from forests to coastlines to abandoned castles, usually in warm climates, and eat whatever living creatures they can find.

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.

The Fire of Philosophy, contrary to his name, is not a philosopher at all. He likes to live life for the moment and often flies into trees imagining that he knocks them down. Often, he ends up with a couple of bruises on his head. He goes to Life Renewer for a heal, and lately Life Renewer has been starting to refuse him. When he's not flying into trees, he recites poetry to Feathered Acrobat in the hope that she will start to like him.
