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.

Falling Magma's mother, Falling Ember was once a vicious fighter, ruling over other dragons by fear. She was cruel, vicious, and strong. But nothing she did ever compared to what her son would soon do.

Falling Magma, the pride and joy of Falling Ember, attacked her without warning one day, far away from any other dragon. He defeated her, and then dragged her back home to watch as he murdered her friends and allies.

He then proceeded to take control of the rest of the dragons, killing all who challenged him. His rule would have been long, had his father, Boiling Magma, not defeated him in a duel and then exiled him from the land.

Now, dragons avoid a bleak, scorched desert. They say that none who go there ever return alive, that their burned bones turn up the next day, that Falling Magma lives on.
