On sunny days when the sea is clear and sparkling, coastal villages are often treated to a spectacular sight. While normally shy, Tideweaver Lindwyrms are emboldened by fair weather, and when one starts to dance, the rest soon follow. However, their intricate fins and complex dances are more than just a dazzling show. Tideweavers rely on slight changes in their movements and fin positions to communicate with others of their kind. This communication is key; the lindwyrms are almost always found traveling within tightly bonded family groups. To show affection, they have been known to gently hold one another with their small front legs.

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.

Every night, the same horrifying scene replays in Riethe's mind. The world literally falls apart around her, alive with flame, as she and her clan remain unharmed in the tropical cove they call home.

The dance is a mesmerizing sight, and somehow looks even more amazing against the backdrop of a dying world.

Each morning, she wakes up with a new appreciation for the peaceful cadence of the world around her. But she can't shake from her mind the possible thought that maybe it isn't just a nightmare... maybe it's a warning of some terrible future. She often finds her body following the haunting routine from her dreams, all the while scanning the world around her for something, anything unusual. Her clanmates know little of her anxieties, seeing only the graceful dance which haunts them with its beauty.
