Sapphire Dragons were so named for their brilliant blue-green color, which is reminiscent of the gemstone. This breed was historically hunted for their scales; even long after, they remain distrustful of humans. Normally a Sapphire is not very aggressive, but they will defend themselves vigorously if under attack. Their diet consists mainly of fruit, with smaller portions of large insects and other invertebrates. Males woo females with vocalizations similar to bird songs. Sapphire Dragons are very loyal to their mates, and it is not unusual that they pair for life.

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.

Eldest daughter of a strain of verse,

Aseje is honoured to sing out her part

Although she retains a great fear in her heart:

She feels she must lighten the whole universe.

.

Though for one dragoness the full universe

Is too big a realm to effect

But one who is out there will help her connect

Her red-finned and lovely Vithurse.

.

Along with her lovely and loving Vithurse,

Aseje will tackle the problems ahead,

Their journey is long, but their writing will spread:

They've a quest to bring Valkemare poets, diverse.
