Arsani Dragons place a heavy emphasis on community. They are born with the innate ability to sense the emotions of others in their own species, and therefore take great care to ensure the happiness of their brethren. It’s not uncommon for them to give gifts and affection to those around them without warning. This good-natured giving extends far beyond the reaches of their own kind. Anyone who gains the friendship of a Arsani Dragon is likely to receive food, pretty rocks, and occasionally even flowers at regular intervals. The shared connection of the Arsani Dragons also allows them to draw on each other’s strength when performing feats of magic, making them some of the strongest spell casters yet discovered.

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.

Simple of nature and simple of mind, Cherie has always found her life to be content. Unworried by the politics and drama that goes on above her head, she spends her days tending herbs for the kitchens, her biggest worry a nasty frost that might damage some of the leaves. While some may look down on her lifestyle and consider her dumb, other dragons in the clans envy the simplicity and lack of drama in her life, and how she is content simply with her existence. Cherie is honest about her intelligence, and anyone seeking out confrontation or arguments with her will find her declare that she does not know enough about that topic to discuss it, but would be interested to hear her point of view. Such is her faith that everyone else will sort the larger problems out that she can lie blessed in her ignorance, but some cynical types will wonder if she is simply refusing to shoulder the burden of knowledge that so many others must carry.
