Perhaps among the most venerated of dragon breeds is the Zyumorph, a breed whose selfless heroism and strong moral compass are nearly unparalleled by other dragons. Zyumorphs have an innate urge to fend off wrongdoing, and as such, are often sought after in times of peril. Although they are independently quite capable fighters, it is said that their true might is not unlocked until all six Zyumorphs are brought together in times of great duress.

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.

As one of the six virtues, this Desert Zyumorph took on the responsibility of the virtue: Respect. Therefore he embodies what it means, and has to life his whole life as an example of that virtue. To him, respect isn't freely given, it is earned. One of the areas he used to frequent held him in high regards, and to receive the regards of the Respect Zyumorph was thought to be legendary. Respect is Earned is mainly nomadic at heart, but does frequent the Sinoaran Desert. As a virtue dragon, he has a specific partner that he works well with, that being the White Zyumorph of the Forest, Loyalty is Returned.
