Bright-Breasted Wyverns are a breed of dragon easily recognized by their bright red markings. They are a small breed, only the size of a full-grown man. However, they have developed poisonous barbs on their feet to make up for their size. Their coloration is used to warn off potential predators of the danger, and is also used to attract mates. They are very social, and can often be seen preening in large groups.

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.

Gemini grew in the careful enclosure of a dragon breeding camp, never knowing who is parents were. However, he did learn that he had been pushed out of his nest while he was an egg, and that was how he had come to be where he was. While this might have made some dragons feel better, it didn't make Gemini. He became ill-tempered, snapping at his handlers, and growling at anyone who came near. He wanted to leave his enclosure, even though there was nothing wrong with it. For days he would just stare out to the mountains, dreaming and wishing and hoping with all his might that he, someday, would rejoin his kind in the wild.
