Rosebud Dragons are a fun and social breed found most often in the spring. The petal-like feathers that grow on their sides spread their sweet and floral scent. Although they have poor eyesight, they have ribbon-like extensions that extend their olfactory abilities to help create a map of the area around them. When flying, Rosebud dragons tend to hover, using their wings to fan their scent throughout the air. A widespread breed, they go to great effort to visit as many flowery fields as possible.

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.

Madam Orchidhue raises flowers outside of Nworset. Her bad eyesight helps her look at the big picture when arranging bouquets, as she does not get distracted by the details of each individual bloom. Centerpieces she has arranged grace tables at many events throughout the city.

For several decades, Madam Orchidhue raised fish. Eventually she grew bored of the hobby and began to sell off her supplies. People bought her fish, her fish food, her algae scrapers, even the water-mana filter that she used to maintain the water quality. But nobody wanted the glass aquariums—there was a fad for putting fish in ponds. Orchidhue had to keep lowering the price, but still, nobody would buy. At some point, she became willing to give them away for free. The aquariums are still sitting outside her weyr with a sign that reads, "Tanks for Nothing!"
