Sunstone Dragons are named after the orb on their tails, which resembles the gem of the same name. Their social structure resembles a lion pride, with one dominant male and several females banded together with their young. They prefer arid climates where they can blend in and dig for minerals and gemstones that they not only collect, but eat. The more gems they consume, the larger their tail stone grows. They are an aggressive breed; it is not uncommon to see two males battling for mates and territory.

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.

Amber's Ember is a fairly reserved dragon with mostly good intentions. She will help other dragons out, but never lets them know that it is her who has aided them. When she is brought into the spotlight, however, she gets defensive and sometimes downright mean. Amber's Ember hates public attention, and will become very angry with anyone who tries to make her go out in the open. She doesn't say much, but spends most of her time either digging for gemstones or helping a fellow dragon through a difficult situation. Some say this strange desire to help others is due to a traumatic past, but no one can say for sure.
