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.

The son of flame and fury, Rage fits his name completely. He is the mate of an ember dragon who is fierce but much more likable than him. Right when he was born, he was trained to become one of the best gladiators around. His mother hesitated when his father suggested immediate battle training, but agreed. He grew up vicious, but that only made his parents proud. He has dreams of becoming the Emperor's Fire Lord, even though he is already a Leader of War. This may lead to a battle INSIDE the borders.
