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.

Nate is a rather strong telepath even for a dragon and has some additional talent in telekinesis. Otherwise she is quite confused. She often tells tales about how her father travelled through time as an egg to lead a bunch of dragon and human rebels against a despotical Avatar tyrant, only to come back, older than his own father to take the Avatar of Destruction out before he as even hatched.

Then she tells stories about her father actually coming from a parallel dimension where some evil wizard used magic to create an offspring of her grandparents without them even mating.

She loses most of her audience when she mentions "clones"—some kind of magically created twins—and tries to explain how many of those are involved in her family history, and firebirds...

No one even dares to ask her why she, as a dragoness, shares her father's name of all things.
