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.

Adajia is the leader of the massive flock, holding their diverse group of orphans together with her iron will and white-hot breath. Raised by hand in the home of an elderly woman, Adajia grew up without the influence of her wild kin, and learned how to temper her flames with compassion and reason before the human passed on. Adajia remained near her home in the foothills for many years, and eventually carved out a cave for herself on the mountain-side above it. She began collecting orphaned eggs from nearby caves to ease her loneliness, and has been attracting orphans and outcasts ever since.
