Sophos Cantormaris Dragons are a kind, caring breed of coastal-dwellers. Their annual migrations at the start of spring are among the first indications that winter has ended. They use their melodic calls to lure people with a yearning for enlightenment to them in a desire to help and share their vast knowledge to those in need. It is considered a sign of luck for one to hear their calls.

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.

Agree is highly sociable and curious, and he's probably a little too generous—his friends and allies keep telling him he should write books and things and then sell them, rather than put a lot of work (and sometimes put his life on the line) doing research and then sharing it freely. Some worry that there are pushier people who take advantage of him. He can see why others say that, but he confidently says that this is his decision. Besides, he has friends and allies who understand him, are willing to defend him, and are kind to him in return.
