Feisty and energetic, Whiptail Dragons pride themselves on their speed and agility. It is not unusual to see several whiptails racing each other. Though fragile, they can easily evade attacks with their superior speed, and often use their long tails as a weapon, giving rise to their name.

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.

Qorybanticy is homesick, though she does not know for where. Her family kicked her out before she was mature. Shortly afterwards, she attended a gathering of dragons from all over the world. It was an incredible experience. She made many friends, some of whom were closer than siblings. She felt more at home than she ever did in her parents' territory. She wished the gathering would never end. But end it did, and she went back to her part of the world as did her friends. She aches for their company. She does not feel like she belongs anywhere. "There's no place like home" has a new meaning as she has no place that is like home to her. If "home is where the heart is" then surely hers is splintered into pieces and buried in the past. Qorybanticy is restless and is considering venturing across the world to visit all her friends again, possibly settling near some of them who live nearby each other, far from her parents. Even then, she may never find home again.
