Skywing Dragons spend most of their lives flying in the air. They hunt from the air, diving at prey from above, and land only to rest. They are some of the fastest fliers, capable of extremely high speeds. The webbing at the end of the tail acts as a rudder, allowing them to easily change direction during flight.

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.

It is well known that the blind monks of Toso-Amri value every life, from the tiniest insect to the mightiest dragon. It is their belief that a truly wise man is not a man who knows everything, but who is able to learn a lesson from every single being in the world. Of course, most of their teachings revolve around morals and philosophic questions: the ants teach the value of community, the unyielding mountain the importance of individualism. Sometimes, it is more straight-forward, however: Sikai'Ra ("Master Dragon", the monks aren't renown for their creativity in naming things) has taught them the basic principle of aerodynamics, which lead to the blind monks being the first to invent the air glider. It is used to transport goods from their monastery in the mountains towards the towns below, since the invention is still too fickle and weak to support the weight of a human.
