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.

Known as the Royal Empress of Fire, Nisil'vithan Nir'arh, although female, has carved her way to be domineering leader over her cluster.

As a result of her many fights for leadership, she has grown to a size far larger than the norm for females, the most prominent feature of this growth being her enormous horns.

Nisil'vithan received many suitors vying for her affections, though oddly enough chose the peaceful white dragon Ferinir as a mate. Their personalities initially were worryingly thought to clash as very opposite breeds, though they cooperate unusually well and have a small brood of hatchlings.

Her descendants and chosen champions make up the large portion of the groups 'royal family' and leaders.
