On sunny days when the sea is clear and sparkling, coastal villages are often treated to a spectacular sight. While normally shy, Tideweaver Lindwyrms are emboldened by fair weather, and when one starts to dance, the rest soon follow. However, their intricate fins and complex dances are more than just a dazzling show. Tideweavers rely on slight changes in their movements and fin positions to communicate with others of their kind. This communication is key; the lindwyrms are almost always found traveling within tightly bonded family groups. To show affection, they have been known to gently hold one another with their small front legs.

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.

A silent versifying wyrm,

Vithurse is honoured to live as a part

Of many dragons who practice the art

Enlarging the practice long-term

.

His plans for writing stretch long-term

The words he sculpts are for his mate,

To help Aseje to create

And fix her when she feels infirm

.

He thinks that Valkemare's infirm,

Suffering from a poem dearth

To spread the craft the planet's girth

Will heal the world, he will affirm.
