Royal Blue dragons are a nocturnal breed who prefer to live high in the mountains near slow-moving water that reflects the night sky. Although quite capable of defending themselves, they are peaceful by nature and will avoid a fight whenever 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.

Although friendly to both humans and other dragons, Harailt prefers spending his time alone, seated on a rocky outcrop overseeing a deep loch in the highlands of Alba. Even though the landscape around is dramatic, jagged rocks protruding from the heather-covered mountainside, Harailt barely ever seems to glance away from the loch. Eyes unfocussed, staring into the murky depths below, the world around him seems to pass by unnoticed. The other Royal Blues will often come up to him to talk or ask him for advice as he is both wise and kind, but for all the kindness with which he treats them they can also sense he wants nothing more than being alone. One of the bolder youngsters ventured to ask why the loch fascinates him so much, but the answer was that it is not the loch which keeps Harailt there, but a memory from times long gone.
