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.

Antiro writes novels and short stories. She considers these her gift to the world, or at least the area that she can travel to sell or hand them out. She's been writing fiction since she was very small, so a reasonable person would think that by now, her writing must be fairly good. One might describe her books as "titillating". "Intriguing". "Stunning". To most, "good" is a stretch. They're the sort of things that one would hide behind a classic doorstopper if reading in public, or would rather read in the privacy of one's room where any undignified reactions would not be noticed. When surveyed, not one dragon or human praised Antiro's work. In fact, nearly everyone emphatically denied knowing who she is and were mum about her books. Her kin, even close family members, frequently ask how on Valkemare she manages to leave with her bag full of stories to share and return home empty-handed a few days later.
