Lunar Heralds are deeply attuned to the two moons of Valkemare, Aurax and Cirion. Strictly nocturnal, they draw energy from moonlight and will only hunt when the moons have waned. When breeding, the amount of moonlight the parents receive from each moon will determine the color of the egg produced. When a Lunar Herald is struck by direct moonlight, an illusion of multiple wings may appear. Witnessing a Lunar Herald’s illusory wings is commonly believed to be a sign of good fortune.

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.

Earl and Hurl is an aspiring baker, but she spends a great deal more time finding ingredients and tools than doing any cookery. She still doesn't know how to properly store things that can't handle the hot, hot days and cold, cold nights in the desert, but she became a baker on a bet and she's going to be a good one, however long that takes. Lately, there's been a sunstone following Earl and Hurl around and declaring that she shall accept him as a partner and have his children. As much as she dislikes interacting with anything, especially those seeking friendship and other insipid things, perhaps this guy can be useful to her baking goal.
