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.

Roeth is a dragon with a purpose. He travels endlessly on the winds of the world, looking for a mate that he can finally settle down with. The multiple scars and missing scales upon his scarlet hide attest to the length and danger his search has brought with it. In the prime of his life, this nomadic firebreather has fought off countless other males as he's traversed their territories, as well as unruly females who wish his driven ways nothing but ill. Perhaps this scorn comes from his methods of 'testing' the females he comes across, ensuring that the one who passes will have the honor of being his clutchmate.
