The Sakuhana Wyverns are known for their alluring beauty and the sweet, pleasant aroma that follows them everywhere. Though they may be courted by numerous potential mates, a Sakuhana typically will only choose one and remain with them for the rest of their lives. They are very playful dragons that are always active and rarely sit still for long. Because of this, they are typically only seen during Spring, settle down for just long enough to find their mate. The presence of a Sakuhana always brings an influx of warmth and new growth; the dragons make use of their innate magic to help bring about an early Spring.

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.

Sapphire Safflower has always been fond of flower arranging. This seemed to be a relatively benign hobby, even after she joined an equally-benign cult. The religion worships a remarkably-sinful god who demands his followers do the opposite of what he does. The followers—mostly humans—behave normally outside of their religious activities, so the the faith is generally well-tolerated. But when Safflower began to gain a position of power within the organisation, she started going insane, combining the worst of the faith and her flowers. Soon, she was raving how everyone must spread the word of her god in the language of flowers, or their souls would be doomed to a thousand centuries of torture. Even her fellow believers were horrified. Eventually, a lihnseyre pulled the soul from her body to prevent the corruption from spreading. Those who remain with the cult swear they will never allow a similar incident to occur and now chant the mantra, "Only you can prevent florist friars."
