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.

Pyropejilous FlareGaze (after the gemstone: Pyrope Garnet) is the 26th dragon of the clan. She creates searing plumes of flame that shoot from her eyes as much as from her massive jaws, although the former are certainly not made of fire. The Clan Mother found her egg abandoned among many others, yet she has never fully been able to explain what drew her to Pyropejilous. It is believed that she comes from a long and unbroken line, and as a result, she maintains an almost arrogant air about that fact, never letting any around himher forget it. She has had multiple confrontations with most of the clan elders, believing herself above them all in position and rank. Most of the clan dragons tolerate her haughtiness with mild irritation, although it is only a matter of time before Pyropejilous will inevitably face one who will not be so forgiving.
