Heartseeker Dragons are very social creatures that emanate a sweet chocolatey scent. Their captivating perfume easily attracts adult dragons that don’t yet have a mate. Heartseekers use their keen sense of smell to detect solitary dragons and potential mates in the area. By rubbing their fins against objects such as trees and rocks, they leave a scent trail for the other dragons to follow to meet each other. Although these dragons are seen year-round, the scent of a Heartseeker becomes particularly potent during the middle of winter. During this time, a single Heartseeker may play matchmaker to dozens of dragons, but he will also choose a special mate of his own.

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.

Journey does not bear the Anu namesake, as he came to the clan much later in life. He was driven across clan boundaries by a battle that was ravaging his homeland. However he escaped one war only to be thrust headfirst into another. He had barely stumbled into the Anu clan territory when he was captured. The clan had been ripped in half by a violent clan war. Eden, the rebel leader, had been struggling with a member of his harem. He believed that Journey could make the rebellious female love him. Eden kept Journey locked up and under guard for months. Finally Journey fought; he barely managed to escape with his life. He was found by a scouting party and brought to the Anu clan. They healed him and welcomed him into the family. Journey has found a home, and he picked out a gold wyvern as his mate. Matchmaking is something he's found he's surprisingly good at. He spends his time repairing mates torn apart by the war.
