Rosebud Dragons are a fun and social breed found most often in the spring. The petal-like feathers that grow on their sides spread their sweet and floral scent. Although they have poor eyesight, they have ribbon-like extensions that extend their olfactory abilities to help create a map of the area around them. When flying, Rosebud dragons tend to hover, using their wings to fan their scent throughout the air. A widespread breed, they go to great effort to visit as many flowery fields as possible.

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.

Vorel Tagaji used to be naive, thinking that everyone was her friend and that she was loved by all. Now, though, she knows better. After she met her ill-fated love, Drong Gixic, she learned that not everyone is as they seem. Drong Gixic was a warrior, cruel, proud, and fierce. He had no time for Vorel Tagaji's fragile needs, and cast her aside like he had no use for her anymore. Vorel Tagaji was crushed like a precious flower in a stampede. She hid herself away, not willing to ever trust again, until she met Shochraos Caex Di Wer Sargti, the lonely young thunder dragon who showed Vorel Tagaji that she didn't have to be alone. Vorel Tagaji chose Shochraos Caex Di Wer Sargti as a new life mate, leaving her past behind her just as her new mate had taught her.
