Ember Dragons have a great affinity for hot environments. While they themselves are not hot to the touch, their tendency to lurk amongst smoldering ashes has caused many to believe they are fire-starters. Their dully glowing markings serve many purposes: acting as a means of identification between individuals, as an important part of mating displays, and as a way of showing aggression. The long, low build of the breed makes them ungainly in flight, and the thick fleshy membranes of their wings hinder them further. As such, it is rare to see an Ember Dragon take to the air. Ember Dragons are also not particularly sociable; females tend to be defensive, whereas males are more aggressive. Once they have settled with a particular group of dragons, Ember Dragons are incredibly loyal and will defend their pack by any means possible.

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.

Kynja is the loving mate of Sinta, always brave and cheerful. He lived in a very aggressive family that believed in fighting and violence. Of course, like his other family and comrades he was a killer at heart, zero regrets. When he was almost grown he willingly fought against a massive and older silver dragon, his self-pride strong. He lost, fleeing as a horribly injured dragon. The fight had scarred him, and he thought no evil any longer; only fighting to defend and protect. So he left his clan, searching for something greater than fighting. He met Sinta, and she invited him into her own clan. Secretly admiring her, he accepted, and later on became mates with her.
