Sophrosyne Dragons are a rare sight, typically making themselves known only to protect and heal the vulnerable. A visit from one serves as a reminder that kindness prevails, and that there’s always hope for positive change. While it is known that they possess the power to reverse botched spells, some claim they can even cure methodically-cast curses. This has never been formally documented, but these dragons have been seen arriving in the aftermath of violence, and the scars of tragedy seem to heal faster in their wake. The feathers of a Sophrosyne have thus become a symbol of perseverance and light in the face of darkness.

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.

Kaiyla has always done her best to help others--- it gives her a terrible feeling to see a dragon lost and alone. But it gives her an even worse feeling of pure guilt when she finds those in need whom she cannot help. She blames her failure on herself, her inner voice belittling her with words of scorn: that if only she had moved quicker, reacted sooner, tried harder, she could have succeeded. No matter how many dragons she helps, no matter how many undead whose souls she frees, she will only remember her failures.

But somehow Kaiyla found a new strength inside of her when the weary Vampire Alithmir found her lair. He had been traveling every inch of the realm in search of a fabled potion that could cleanse his body of the Vampire's poison and bring him back to life. His was a lost cause, but somehow his stubborn doggedness and refusal to give up filled her with a newfound determination, allowing her to finally let go of past mistakes and instead focus on the untamed challenges ahead.
