Sunsong Amphipteres are an unusual breed. Due to light interference caused by their magical nature, they don’t seem to be affected by any ambient light source. However, when struck by direct sunlight, they shine a brilliant gold. They are playful and ever in flight; their ethereal and mysterious appearance and the fact that they are usually only seen at a distance have led many to believe they are a symbol of hope and good fortune.

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 seventh son of a seventh son is said to possess great luck, but it seems the number six has its virtues, too. A child of six generations of pure sunsong ancestry, a line begun exactly six hundred years past at the time of his birth, this spirited male upholds the attributes of his breed and indeed pushes them to the maximum. Possessing powerful magic, he can bend the fortunes of those around him, and goes about granting good luck and merriment to all who deserve it. So strong has his line become that his entire family is renowned within their land's borders, their presence assuring bounty and joy to all and earning them no small amount of gifts and offerings in return--especially young Ascentiel, kindest, luckiest, and strongest of them all.
