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.

Burn The Earth, despite what her name seems to suggest, is not a destructive dragon at all. "Burning the earth" is what she calls her favourite pastime of firing pottery. Putting something in words may not be her strong point, but she sure knows how to make a nice earthenware jar. She doesn't seem to know what the objects that are brought to her are good for, though. Often enough, villagers will return to pick up their jars and dishes, only to find nothing left but shards because Burn allowed the hatchlings to play with the finished items. But it beats having to do the work themselves, and a few hundred years hence some archaeologists are going to be very excited about finding those useless discarded shards!
