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.

Spitfickle Wenshale is a violent, hasty dragon who will start a fight if someone looks at her funny. Her temper is always flaring, lighting up her bright markings and making it seem like she's on fire. She refuses to join any guild, although she'll openly declare guild war on them.

The only dragons that have been able to calm her down are her mate and children. Her mate, Candied Talons, is a docile pink dragon that is always there to keep her out of trouble. Even though she's happy with her brood, Spitfickle has always wanted a son of her own species.
