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.

The first son of Anhoffter the red dragon and Brydiau the purple dragon, Andemonar grew up with his egg-brothers Airenar and Andulvar and his egg-sisters Shentau and Kristau. Achubiaeth and Chwithau, parents to his egg-brother Andulvar, occupy the position of uncle and aunt. Although he has never known any other clan matriarch but Zyrieen, he is the true son of his father, with all the fiery disposition. He is also being groomed to one day take his father's place as co-leader with his egg-brother, Andulvar. He is deeply in love with Lantau, and has decided to take her as his mate.
