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.

Igneous lays before the visitors, her head raised and observing them with bright yellow eyes like sparkling topaz. Her wings are spread out over a few hatchlings and eggs, her master sitting cross-legged in between her legs. Igneous is a proud mother and leader of her steadily growing clan. She is the first and queen of the brood, being the eldest female dragon. Her mates hover nearby, a green dragon and another red, also appearing to be on egg duty.
