Far and away one of the most enigmatic of dragon breeds, the Sinomorph is shrouded in near-complete mystery. While the exact conditions that herald its arrival are not certain, it is said to only appear when called upon by all six Zyumorphs. Record of its existence may be limited to folklore and ancient legends, but recent sightings seem to suggest this storybook behemoth may truly walk the lands of Valkemare. If the stories of the past are to be trusted, its appearance serves as a beacon of light in the face of looming calamity.

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.

Shinjo is a warrior at heart, said to have faced down massive armies of humans and dragons alike when protecting Valkemare from conquerors. Her presence is only made known during times of great calamity when too many have fallen to war, but Shinjo rarely picks a certain side to support. Rather, she will appear to all combatants, flying over camps and fortifications as a warning to cease the fighting. If three days pass and there are still aggressors, Shinjo will enter the fray herself to drive back the armies with brute force. She will destroy any weapons she sees, but allow the soldiers to keep their lives so that there may be a chance for peace without further loss. Those who continue to oppose her are never heard from again.
