Sunrise Dragons are closely related to sunset dragons. However, their behaviors differ greatly. Sunrise Dragons prefer to live in large groups and enjoy basking in the early morning sun. They are usually most active in the morning, and go to sleep in the early evening.

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.

The haughty Z'Soleil spares no love for fools. If a dragon proves incompetent at his given task, Z'Soleil becomes irritated, tells the dragon to leave the work to him, and assigns someone else to do it. Though he is a hard taskmaster, and has earned the ire of many dragons, he is nevertheless excellent at finding the right dragons for any job that needs doing. He is a master at delegation and, while he is not likely to soil his claws himself in doing work, he ensures that the work gets done, no matter how many dragons he has to fire in finding the right worker. His commanding personality and refusal to argue any matter—his decision is always final—cause his fellow clan members to experience both deep awe and great aggravation.
