Terrae Dragons are primarily herbivores who prefer to eat from the tops of trees. However, due to their massive size, they must rely on small, specialized scales to absorb and convert energy from the sun. Since they live in tightly-knit groups, this form of energy absorption helps preserve the forests in which these dragons reside.

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.

Ezra Forrest was born into the Apple clan. He was a very playful hatchling and was often finding himself in trouble for reasons that he did not understand. One day, he did something so terrible, that it got him banished from the Apple clan. He was still a hatchling when he was banished. He was wandering around for a few weeks on his own, when an older dragon found him. He took him in, and brought him back to the rest of his clan, and Ezra became a Forrest.

After Ezra grew up and felt more comfortable in the clan, he began talking with more of the adults. He found out that two of the dragons in this clan had actually started the Apple clan, but had also been banished when they decided they wanted to eat apples and not just worship them.
