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.

bEATB has what many would consider a low-value piece of territory, given that there isn't all that much sand, but he doesn't mind. He has easy access to water from the Drowned Mountains to the south, and enough sand still blows in for him to work his weyr. Plus it has the added bonus of a brute dragoness who has a wonderful appreciation of glassworks. It has been decades, but he still feels like he's just started falling in love. He knows she likes the sound of clashing and banging, so he continuously works on a glass structure with echo chambers to amplify the noise of a small pebble dropped into it so that it reverberates with a sound like male brutes in combat.
