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.

Prince Tealiuo of Medeis is considered an oddity by his tribe. He believes that he came from a grand foreign country and is a rightful prince of the land. Many dragons doubt his story, since his egg was found laying on the beach as if thrown away. Tealiuo clings to his story though, and is thus easily offended if others do not speak to him "properly." A few of the tribe's young aquatic dragons will offend him on purpose when bored just to watch him swim around in a frenzy.
