Canopy Dragons love to soar above the tropical jungles and other densely forested areas. Their billowing, layered wings create generous lift that allows them to ascend effortlessly over the warm jungle. While their unique wings do not make them the fastest flyers, they are champion gliders. To further this end, dexterity, maneuverability, and grace are all judged by the females when selecting their mates from the males that can accurately complete the exhausting and elaborate courtship dance between the close growing branches of the upper canopy.

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.

Adhraadesh Chakudun comes from a very proud, pure line of canopy dragons.  Her family, though prolific, is clannish and keeps to the jungles, disdaining other dragons and other intelligent races alike.  They are fond of wearing parts of their hoards, and a mark of a highly ranked dragon is one who can wear masses of heavy jewelry and still be quick and dexterous.  Adhraadesh aspires to be like her mother, who frequently clanks when she moves.  Her hoard is not very large yet, but when she gets enough of her own territory to start raiding others, it will be.
