Daydream Dragons are the hosts of daydreams and fantasies. They spend the majority of their time sitting on clouds, dropping daydreams down into the minds of people passing by. Humans who live near Daydream Dragons must be especially careful not to let their thoughts wander, or they could end up spending hours or even days in a trance-like waking dream state.

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.

Drifting amidst a vast sky filled with nothing but jealousy and sorrow—at least, that's how Alkurion feels. She used to have many close friends, but they broke off, becoming simple acquaintances. It seems as if all the other dragons' talents are greatly recognized; they are rather proud to flaunt their skills. To make matters worse, no dragon recognizes Alkurion's strengths. They undermine her, and reveal every miniscule flaw of hers as if they even matter. Feeling helpless, ugly, and untalented, she drifted to a cave where her talents were actually recognized. Though Alkurion now floats more jubilantly, she still feels pangs of sorrow and jealousy.
