Seasonal Dragons take on the characteristics of the season during which they are born. Thus, eggs that are laid in spring match the pink flowers and green buds of spring, and those that are laid in the summer grow to depict the bright green of the forest trees and the yellow of the sun. Eggs laid in autumn display the bright colors of leaves falling from trees, and those that are laid during winter take on the appearance of the icy snow.

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.

Dragonlilies was named for his love of a certain type of flower. It's a common trait of spring dragons to be attracted to colorful blooms, but this young male is drawn to lilies like none other. He uses his magic to cultivate them in ways that they could never reach naturally—giant, dappled blue and orange flowers with pure, lovely scents. With the help of the quiet hatchling Foray, he turns the cave entrance into a beautiful paradise each spring.
