Hellfire Wyverns are so named for their foul tempers and fiery visages. Their social structure places all females above all males, due to superior physical characteristics and violent dispositions. Forced subservience of the males causes them to become vicious, petty, antisocial, and passive-aggressive compared to the aggressive and social females. However, orphaned hatchlings raised by foster parents of another species can develop surprisingly even tempers and mellow dispositions, proving that their defining unpleasant nature is, in fact, a learned behavior.

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 Everlasting Flames is a male Hellfire wyvern. He is one of the only dragons ever to cross "The Dreaming Sea". Flames has brought back many strange items from his expeditions. A yellow fruit called a pineapple, a vegetable known as a potato and a food named sugar are only some of the items that he brought back from the lands that lie across "The Dreaming Sea".

  However, it is a long time since The Everlasting Flames has roamed across oceans. He found love in a female Horse dragon called Purplesea, and has settled down considerably. Flames now has a son and a granddaughter. He now dwells in a cave in the side of a volcano known as "The Mouth Of Thorn".

The Everlasting Flames has written several books about the lands that he has seen and the adventures he had. After reading this books, many dragons ask why he has chosen family life over this strange world. Flames' answer is always "The world was discovered by others when I came there, so it should not be discovered by me.".
