Sweetlings are a small, flightless breed of dragon. They are omnivores who favor sweet fruits and honey, and have been known to go to great lengths to obtain their favorite treats. Their long, prehensile tails allow them to grab onto branches and give them superior balance. Sweetlings are expressive dragons and have a large array of calls to communicate with others. They become very vocal during breeding season and sing long, beautiful melodies to attract a mate. Inquisitive in nature, Sweetlings are known to investigate anything that piques their interest, and are quick to flee if the object of their curiosity strikes back.

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.

Poor Homage seems to have inherited the worst possible trait from his mother: her awful Black Marrow stench. While otherwise a polite and dashing dragon, his foul odor drives away many would-be friends and life partners no matter how much they try to stomach it. His mother always assured him that it was no big deal, that he could find a lovely Marrow mate who would find it attractive. But he doesn't find the dark, skeletal females of that breed to his liking he wants to be with a mate who doesn't eat rotting corpses. But until he finds a lady without a sense of smell, he's left as a stinky bachelor.
