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 last dragon on Valkemare was alone in a room. There was a knock on the door."

"She asked why I was breathing so heavily. I wasn't."

"The longer I wore it the more it grew on me. She had such pretty scales."

These, among other two-sentence horror stories, are what Pleasing Soap excels in telling. She is constantly rattling off terrifying facts, creepy legends, and suspenseful stories. While the adult dragons are irritated by her nonstop prattling, Pleasing Soap can keep a hatchling entertained for hours with her storytelling ability. Some of the more protective parents regard Soap with hostility, afraid that she will expose their children to horrors that should remain unspoken, but what they don't realize is that the hatchlings only listen to Soap to get away from the adults' boring talk.
