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.

Brighteye Binark is going crazy. No, it isn't because her eyes are apparently so bright that she cannot look at anything without feeling pain, let alone get good quality sleep. It isn't because she has vivid nightmares where she wakes up to find that her glowing eyes have been replaced by empty sockets, devoid of vision and light. Rather, Brighteye Binark is obsessed with the latter part of her name. While other hatchlings mocked and derided her "firefly eyes", Brighteye was falling into a severe depression because she had no idea what a "Binark" was. In fact, nobody does, because it just isn't a word... and that's pretty much it, unfortunately.
