Striped Dragons come in a dazzling array of colors complemented by an intricate pattern of stripes. These bright colors and patterns help attract their favorite food, insects. Because their prey is so tiny, striped dragons must spend a large portion of their day eating. The color of the offspring is usually determined by the dragon’s mate.

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.

Beloved wife and firm-handed mother, this dragon was named by the people of a small religious community at the foot of a nearby mountain.  The habit of these people is to ring a large bell 4 times each day: once at dawn, once at noon, once at sunset, and once at midnight.  As a hatchling, this dragon was always awake before dawn and started perching on the roof of the belltower each morning for the unique feeling of sound and vibration humming through her feet and bones.  One day, she was so giddy at it that she raised her voice to sing with the bell, and the community decided they liked it so much that they laid out a feast in her honor.

Once someone feeds a dragon, she'll keep coming back for eternity even if they never do it again, just in case.  Now Lightbell, named for her favorite time, the Bell That Greets The Light, is seen every morning atop the belltower, singing forth the dawn.
