Ember Dragons have a great affinity for hot environments. While they themselves are not hot to the touch, their tendency to lurk amongst smoldering ashes has caused many to believe they are fire-starters. Their dully glowing markings serve many purposes: acting as a means of identification between individuals, as an important part of mating displays, and as a way of showing aggression. The long, low build of the breed makes them ungainly in flight, and the thick fleshy membranes of their wings hinder them further. As such, it is rare to see an Ember Dragon take to the air. Ember Dragons are also not particularly sociable; females tend to be defensive, whereas males are more aggressive. Once they have settled with a particular group of dragons, Ember Dragons are incredibly loyal and will defend their pack by any means possible.

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.

Warmth of the Fireplace lives up to her name well enough, but she is not, in any way, 'warm' or kind to most others. Contrary to the common behavior of female Ember dragons, she is extremely aggressive and will not hesitate for a single heartbeat to attack another. She is an excellent fighter, and enjoys training with her fellow cavemates. She and the current other Ember adult in the cave, who is also a she-dragon, who, like a normal female Ember, is defensive, make a great pair in a fight.

Warmth, whose nickname is actually War, tends to avoid socialization, spare a few close friends. She likes to be alone most of the time, and does not appreciate a caring soul.

Her particular sleeping area in her owner's general area of property is on a large ledge inside of the cave. She sleeps alone. For whatever reason, she is often tormented with terrible nightmares and often cries out at night, but doesn't usually wake up from it. Some of the other dragons insist that she can see dead dragons.
