Shimmer-scale Dragons are a very beautiful breed with small—but highly reflective—scales that shimmer and shine as the dragon moves through water. They don’t have fins or webbed feet, but their long, eel-like bodies allow them to swim quite fast. They were once rumored to carry large pearls in their claws—causing many to seek them out in search of this fabulous treasure. In reality, the “pearl” is of greater value to the dragon, for the fabled treasure is actually an egg carried by a migrating female.

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.

Great grandchild of Jewel, a legendary dragon known for both the rarity and beauty of her color, this creature has always believed herself to be just as worthy of praise. Yes, her hue might not be quite the same, but she is wonderful to look upon regardless, her scales do seem to gleam sapphire when the light strikes just right, and her personality is endearing to all who meet her. Yet oddly enough despite all these truths she has few companions, most other beings going fidgety after a few minutes in her wondrous company and seeking reasons to leave. While she's quick to forgive these souls for being intimidated by her, she does get lonely from time to time, something she's willing to admit out loud. What she isn't willing to confess, however, is her desperate fear that someday a closer relative to her fabled great grandmother will come along and steal away all her glory.
