This breed of dragon results from eggs or hatchlings that have been neglected. They are usually rebellious, not obeying their masters, sometimes even attacking them. However, their neglect as a hatchling leaves them crippled, and they are weak compared to other breeds, causing them to stay with their masters for protection.

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.

Ks'szh Morchaint is a bitter, arrogant dragon, believing herself to be nothing short of royalty despite her crippled state. To her reasoning, not only is her tattered kind a rare sight, but most are orphans on paper, whereas she can still glance back onto documented family lineage, leading a mere four steps to Arboriel Morchaint. On most nights, within the confines of her dreams, she surpasses Arboriel, laying claim to the vast territory she's convinced her oldest recorded Tinsel ancestor must possess, as well as the legions of followers she dreams her to have. Drifting in and out of sleep, her loneliness drives her to silent tears—but she dares not reach out to others, paralysed by the misguided fear that the bond of friendship might convey too much submission for the role that she sees herself in.
