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.

Ever since Charels learned to comumnicate via telepathy, his thoughts have always bene slightly jumbled, requiring the other person to pause to parse thoes thoughts. It's more of a minor inconvenience than a lager issue, so others have learned ot expect it. Chrales doesn't know why this happens, and whenever he writes, sometimes the words also come out a little scarmbeld. The way he describes the porblem is that little word snippets or figemnts of thought "bounce around" in the ari and need to be caught and placed down, but it's nearly impossilbe to place them all correctly. His family tried to train him as a scribe, tub after seeing how much difficulty the poor dargon had learning, they allowed him to do something lees. He is own a sentry and painter, which requires little talking and writing, and Chlarse prefers slotiude while engaged in his work.
