Magma Dragons are capable of withstanding the intense temperatures of their element. They live in volcanic regions, their bodies coated in the red hot magma which clings to their scales. They must leave the lava fields in order to hunt, although they require surprisingly little food to sustain their lumbering mass.

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.

Waridon is a beautiful, flirtatious and confident female, and she knows it. Although she is not obnoxiously proud, her self confidence is what brought her and her mate Phelspar, one of the clan's main guards, together. He had been interested in her for a while, but she had her eye on one of the younger males. To get her attention, he had told her that the same young dragon had told him that he thought she was no match for the older guard, despite all he words. Of course she was offended, and challenged Phelspar to a test of skills. As the dragon who was challenged, Phelspar set the terms. If he won, she would become his mate, and if Waridon was victorious Phelspar would have to spend a week as the nursery caretaker, a job he loathed. Unfortunately for Waridon, Phelspar won.
