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.

First Dame Sarise spends most of her time talking with Ferra, the First Guard of the Mountain Court.  The friends first formed their bond as nestmates, when they got into an argument, which turned into a wrestling match- which Ferra won.  Sarise had so far gone undefeated, so the ease with which Ferra pinned her gave rise to a respect and sense of companionship that endures even now.  They still enjoy testing their skills on one another, and Sarise even wins on occasion.
