Spitfires are a desert breed of dragon. Their dull brown bodies contrast with their brilliant turquoise markings, and they only blaze brighter when these dragons fight. Spitfires are notorious for their territorial natures, and the wing-edges of most are ripped and tattered before their first year is out. Spitfires are also noteworthy for their brilliant blue fire, which is used not for hunting or fighting, but rather for making glass caves from the sand, in which the dragons can soak up the sun.

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.

Scars is honored by many dragons. She made a wonderful glass palace in the desert, all by herself. She lives in it with Shade of the Dark Cliffs, Swift Vanishing Mist, Black Lightning that Strikes, Lightning Blue Mystery, and Dead Fire of Ashes. Scars is undoubtedly the leader of them all, only second in strength to Lightning. She is good friends with Mystery as well, and her trusted bodyguard and adviser is Fire. They call the glass castle "The Palace of Scars".
