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.

Auctorus is widely regarded as the leader of all the dragons in his fold. He is by far the most powerful, seeing as his flames can trump anything else his underlings can produce. Auctorus is a very old and wise dragon. He has taken to viewing the other dragons in his fold as his "children", even though they are not related by blood. Nevertheless, he protects them all with the same ferocity that a true father would his offspring. It took some time, but he eventually learned to be lenient with his protection, and has come to realize when one of the others can get a job done more effectively than he can.
