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.

The Luminant Flightmaster is a dragon to be respected. She's spent her life preparing for the role of a simple guide, learning the ropes from the Electrum Navigator, who had spent his life preparing for the same thing. She soon learned, like the Navigator did, that the job of guiding is rather unfulfilling. Not many of the dragons she encounters in territory unfamiliar to them would like an Ember dragon breathing down their neck, attempting to guide them.

She fell in love with the Navigator's son, Clockwork Sorrow. That aspect has been unfulfilling towards her as well, since Clockwork Sorrow is far too worried with his own sadness and the passing of time to be a good mate.

So she tends her child alone, with too much information about the world on her mind and too little to do with that knowledge. It's an unfulfilling life.

As it has been.

And as it always will be.
