Two-Finned Blunas are a very social breed of dragon, living in packs of dragons called “pods.” Blunas are very curious and playful creatures and several dragons in a pod will often “play” with one other, chasing each other around, tossing seaweed back and forth, and riding ocean swells. They are occasionally seen swimming alongside whales and dolphins.

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.

Born during the Great Female Shortage of '11,  Lesson was originally named 'I Was Supposed to be a Girl.' Driven crazy by a shortage of females, Taiyles started giving all male hatchlings embarrassing or girly names.

Once her first female  pink was born, Taiyles relented and offered to rename him. But the damage was done—a childhood full of teasing and bullying had left the poor dragon shy and a loner. Truly repentant, Taiyles changed his name to A Lesson Learned, as a reminder to never again take out her frustrations on innocent dragons.

These days Lesson still mostly keeps to himself, except for his one friend and mentor, Deep Singer. Deep Singer has always been there for him.

Lesson's sufferings have taught him compassion for others. He cannot see another in distress without helping them. But he prefers not to draw attention to his actions, even going so far as to help in secret sometimes.
