Blusang Lindwyrms are quite different from most dragons in that they lack hind legs. In this regard, they resemble snakes, and this is evident in their movement; these lindwyrms slither along the ground, using their forelegs to lift them over rougher terrain. Blusangs are a coastal breed, preferring to live along rocky beaches and in seaside caves rather than sandy locations. They are omnivores who graze on seaweed from time to time, although their primary form of sustenance is fish.

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.

When Xarbin got a job with the Blusang Broadcasting Coalition, he expected nothing more than putting together magical recordings of fish, fishing, and cliffs starring blusangs, recorded by blusangs, to be projected into magical pools for viewing by blusangs. Not so. The first thing he discovered was that the sports devision is run by a waterhorse named TdBBC. The Blusang Broadcasting Coalition's spells send the images to all sorts of viewers using far-seeing pools, crystals, and even enchanted paintings. Xarbin's third assignment was to do underwater recordings (admittedly, mostly of fish) for a solstice director, to be narrated by a melismor. He has since become an integral part of Polychromos's team, bringing her recordings of all manner of marine life for the famous documentaries narrated by David Attenburrow as a side project when he goes to film on location. Working with Attenburrow's team has made him love animals that he used to ignore, especially cuttlefish and anemones.
