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.

Ambrose is a most unusual dragon, when he first hatched his clan mates at the Storm Crow Cave had never seen anything like him before. He was so pink and so sweet that they thought he was made of sugar. Some members of the clan licked him for a long time before realising that he was was not going to dissolve on their tongues. Regardless of how sweet he looks he is in fact quite different from his appearance. In his dreams Ambrose is a great fighter and hero, and so he spends his time practising knife throwing, sword fighting and others of the martial arts. So far his greatest adventure has been to rescue Bitsy, the pygmy dragon, when she got stuck in a tree top. This has formed a bond between the two dragons and Ambrose can often be found with the little one crouched on his back, nibbling the tip of his tail. When not practising the arts of war and adventure Ambrose likes to study the stars and believes he has discovered the constellation of Draco, the great ancestor Dragon in the sky.
