On sunny days when the sea is clear and sparkling, coastal villages are often treated to a spectacular sight. While normally shy, Tideweaver Lindwyrms are emboldened by fair weather, and when one starts to dance, the rest soon follow. However, their intricate fins and complex dances are more than just a dazzling show. Tideweavers rely on slight changes in their movements and fin positions to communicate with others of their kind. This communication is key; the lindwyrms are almost always found traveling within tightly bonded family groups. To show affection, they have been known to gently hold one another with their small front legs.

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.

Red Rory is considered to be the heart and soul of the Cave's first four eggs, due to his kindred and sociable spirit. He lives in the bay, right beside the cave, while his mate, The Pillow Monarch, watches him dance behind closed eyelids on the white sands of the shoreline. Due to his mate's lengthy sleeping schedule, it is he who makes most of the decisions and watches over the Cave and his and his mate's hatchlings, who either join him in the sea or cause mayhem in the Cave or the surrounding mountains and forests. Most dragons listen to him out of admiration and love, rather than feeling a powerful and dominating aura, like the one his mate has.
