Ember Dragons have a great affinity for hot environments. While they themselves are not hot to the touch, their tendency to lurk amongst smoldering ashes has caused many to believe they are fire-starters. Their dully glowing markings serve many purposes: acting as a means of identification between individuals, as an important part of mating displays, and as a way of showing aggression. The long, low build of the breed makes them ungainly in flight, and the thick fleshy membranes of their wings hinder them further. As such, it is rare to see an Ember Dragon take to the air. Ember Dragons are also not particularly sociable; females tend to be defensive, whereas males are more aggressive. Once they have settled with a particular group of dragons, Ember Dragons are incredibly loyal and will defend their pack by any means possible.

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.

Aggst is a strong and friendly dragon. He is open and jovial and sometimes others mistake him for being a bit slow, especially compared to his little brother Lavagg. Although the two brothers have fought and argued time and again, it really was nothing more than squabbles between siblings and one would have readily died for the other. When they were hatchlings he always was the popular one while his friends often teased Lavagg for being a baby and wanted to get rid of him, but Aggst always stood by his brother, teaching him loyalty and caring through example.

The one thing though he never liked was his little brother meddling with dangerous magics and ancient artifacts and he worried constantly whenever he learned that Lavagg studied and experimented in that field. Little does he know what happened to his brother while he was away and no one knows what he'll do once he finds out...
