Crimson Flare Pygmies are named after their small size and speed. They are fast and love to fly up and down in steep climbs and dives, giving the impression of a flare of color in the sky. These dragons travel in swarms during migration seasons and are very social. They live in tropical locations or wherever it is warm, and they are often seen near active volcanoes.

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.

Pygmy dragons are the smallest category of dragons, being on the same scale as domesticated animals. They are often found around concentrated populations of dragons, relying on their larger brethren to ward away potential predators and leave scraps. As such, the majority of a pygmy’s diet is scavenged. Due to their tiny size, pygmies do not breed with larger varieties of dragons.

A little white lie never hurt anyone, something that can't be said of a bit of black truth. Yet the former has never done anyone much good, while the same can't be said of the latter...

Known for a harsh voice, great wisdom, and an endless loyalty to honesty, Blacktruth has gained a wide variety of both admirers and enemies for his habit of speaking like it is. His confirmation of people's faults is matched equally by the thrill of knowing that his praises are all truly founded, and no slinking politician within his earshot will be able to rearrange their words to sound better at a later date. While his services are thus well sought after, he finds most people annoying and would much prefer to spend his time living a quiet life with his mate and children.
