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.

A most surly creature, this male seems to disapprove of everything. A small sampling of the things on his "stuff that annoys me" list includes whiny people, the color red, squirrels, blankets, baby dragons, tyrants, and cucumbers. Indeed, it's probably easier to list the things that don't annoy him rather than go through the extensive tome of all the things that do; just about one of the only gifts that are sure to please him are cookies, at which point he will forgive even red-wearing, squirrel-faced cucumber-growers for their annoyingness.
