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 orange variant is called Spessartine. These Pyralspites are more fun-loving and mellow than others, and are optimistic as a whole. Their preferred habitat is coastal 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.

A mellow dragon is this Aodr,

And oft he prances through the cliffside sea.

But one day he heard something, someone—her;

The elegant song of a young Habdi.

So enamoured was he with her song

He flew atop the cliff despite the spray,

And followed, searching for her, all day long,

As she moved further down the hills to play.

Habdi's sweet tones were soon accompanied

By his soft counterpoint of baritone.

Far off did others hear the melodies,

And hum in dreams or sink to sleep like stone.

The two young dragons weave themselves a net

To snare hearts with their beautiful duet.
