Everyday Things
If you have any ideas, tell me! I'll give you all of the credit (for instance, under the title, "This idea was thought of by So-and-So!(with a link to either your homepage or email address)")
Sicknesses and Diseases
Even for its remoteness from Earth, Fyre has its share of sorrows. There is the cold, the flu, chickenpox, and practically every kind of minor sickness such as that. Disease is rarer, but leprosy, mange, and scalerot is common to the Guardians and Humanoids as well. Scalerot occurs only in dragons, when scales began to blacken and curl and fall off the dragon. Mange occurs in all fur-bearing Sentients/Guardians. There is also a sickness known to Sea Serpents as crampcatch, a nasty virus that gives them stomach-aches and causes them to sink. Slashes is the most feared sickness of all. Contagious and contracted through sneezing and saliva, this sickness attacks the nervous system, causing the Guardian/Humanoid/Sentient to jerk in violent seizures. It always cripples its victims, if it doesn't kill them first.
Government
The Government of Fyre is run by the Supreme council, a yearly meeting of people who represent all parts of Fyre. Together, they set laws for each part of Fyre. Taxes are supplied to different subcouncils to build roads and pay LawKeepers. The council is dubbed the Supreme Council of the United Peoples of Fyre (SCUPF).
Jobs
Besides being a Bondmate, jobs in and around the DragonHaven are:
Maid
Cook
Rancher

Currency
The People of Fyre use gold, silver, bronze, and copper coins. Gold coins are rarest, Silver second, bronze third, and copper so common they are like pennies. Also, bartering and trade is a large part of life. A giant Marketplace is in the left wing of the DragonHaven. There, many things are sold, bought, and traded.
Oaths
There are no curse words. However, when a toe is stubbed, there's always an expression! Here are the most popular:
By my Dragon's Blood! (A Bonded's Expression)
He/She's Pixie Born and Bred! (Expression used to describe a mischevious person)
By the First Bonded's Thoughts
Bug Blood!
By my Griffin's Claw!

Like an Emotion Dragon, quick to change (used to describe a canny, hard to believe person)
Egg Shards!
And if you think of more, just tell me!
Greetings and Farewells
The first part, when addressing someone of importance or a stranger:
"Surely the Sun Rises Upon Our Greeting."
Second part:
"Surely the Moons do Also."
Farewells:
"The Sun has set upon our day."
Second part:

When you have more than one person in a group, one person says it to the leader of the group.
