Perhaps among the most venerated of dragon breeds is the Zyumorph, a breed whose selfless heroism and strong moral compass are nearly unparalleled by other dragons. Zyumorphs have an innate urge to fend off wrongdoing, and as such, are often sought after in times of peril. Although they are independently quite capable fighters, it is said that their true might is not unlocked until all six Zyumorphs are brought together in times of great duress.

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.

Volda is a talented merchant, her great skills being her charisma and intellect. She mostly works with dragons who cannot enter the volcanic wasteland she calls home, facilitating commerce and trade between many individuals. Being a Zyumorph, she is venerated for her noble bearing and kindness to make sure those dragons could trade safely. In truth, she's been trying to find someone able to make fireproof paper and pens for her friend Nebaara, an aspiring author. Such a skill is not common, but with enough time and effort, she's sure she can find someone willing.
