Spitfires are a desert breed of dragon. Their dull brown bodies contrast with their brilliant turquoise markings, and they only blaze brighter when these dragons fight. Spitfires are notorious for their territorial natures, and the wing-edges of most are ripped and tattered before their first year is out. Spitfires are also noteworthy for their brilliant blue fire, which is used not for hunting or fighting, but rather for making glass caves from the sand, in which the dragons can soak up the sun.

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.

Electra was born and raised with many expectations. Abandoned as an egg, she was recruited into the Guardians before her eyes had seen more than the inside of a shell. Her days as a hatchling were spent studying the ancient history of the Cave Guardians, warrior dragons born into duty, just like herself. Not all Guardians were trained to fight, but all were fierce, their strength matched only by their intelligence.

Every young Cave Guardian was given their assignment on the day they entered adulthood, but during her ceremony, Electra was given a special honor. She was to be the first of a new class of Guardians: the Guardians of the Crystal Cave.
