Sunstone Dragons are named after the orb on their tails, which resembles the gem of the same name. Their social structure resembles a lion pride, with one dominant male and several females banded together with their young. They prefer arid climates where they can blend in and dig for minerals and gemstones that they not only collect, but eat. The more gems they consume, the larger their tail stone grows. They are an aggressive breed; it is not uncommon to see two males battling for mates and territory.

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.

Niwan likes his solitary lifestyle. While he remembers growing up in his large group fondly, he enjoys the ability to do what he likes as an adult without the responsibility of caring for a lot of females. Of course, he knows that he is more vulnerable by himself, but Niwan truly doesn't wan the the hassle of a large group of silly dragons and their children. What Niwan thinks would suit him best is one partner that he could rely on to help protect him while he is sleeping.
