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.

Born of two powerful dragons, one destined to save the world and the other said to destroy it, Raska has never known where she belonged. Part of her yearns for peace and strives to give help to any who need it, but her other half feels a sort of giddy joy watching others suffer. These two traits, benevolent kindness and sadistic cruelty, wage war within her constantly, always fighting to have the upper hand and control of Raska's very being. She has always been stuck at a crossroads, not knowing which path to travel down, not even knowing where she stands. Her morals are as split as she is. Nothing feels right; everything seems to be a crazy combination of right and wrong. And everyone else seems to expect both sides from her while one is struggling to overpower the other. But she has long since come to believe that both simply isn't an option. Some days it's just too much, having both darkness and light warring inside her. Some days she curses her the day of her very hatching.
