Seasonal Dragons take on the characteristics of the season during which they are born. Thus, eggs that are laid in spring match the pink flowers and green buds of spring, and those that are laid in the summer grow to depict the bright green of the forest trees and the yellow of the sun. Eggs laid in autumn display the bright colors of leaves falling from trees, and those that are laid during winter take on the appearance of the icy snow.

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.

Jadespring was the first-born dragon of his caretaker. He was born in spring, and hundreds of pink flowers covered his egg when his caretaker found him in the grass, under a big tree. The reason why his mother abandoned him is unknown. His caretaker took the egg home and kept it warm until it hatched. The caretaker walked a lot outside with the hatchling she called Jadespring, because of his jade-coloured skin and the season of his birth. It took a long time before Jadespring finally grew up, but his caretaker was very happy to save an abandoned dragon of the death.
