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.

Anouke, meaning War Goddess in Egyptian, has lived up to her name very well. While never picking on the weak or helpless, Anouke started her fair share of fights and scraps during her younger days. Sometimes she won, sometimes she got the spit kicked right out of her. Underneath her saucy exterior and raucous ways, Anouke has a softer side; she loves hatchlings and when she isn't causing trouble for her mate Ret, she makes beautiful glass figurines to adorn the Nest for the eggs and hatchlings.
