Red Dragons are similar to typical story book dragons. They shoot flames, can fly, etc. However, they aren’t evil creatures as depicted in myths and won’t go around raiding castles, killing knights, or kidnapping princesses. They live in a variety of habitats, from forests to coastlines to abandoned castles, usually in warm climates, and eat whatever living creatures they can find.

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.

Sa'angreal is a fire dragon, and he looks up to Gai'shain (who he calls Gai) a lot. Gai is like a father to Sa'angreal, since he was abandoned at the entrance to the cave and never got to know his real father at all. Sa'angreal follows in Gai's footsteps, and can breathe a flame as big as Gai's now. Berentian is like his godfather—Jijendra is his best friend.
