Carina Dragons, though a rare sight, are quite brilliant to behold. Typically gentle, they abhor violence and have developed a rather unique method of camouflage to avoid it: their wings and bodies blend into the night sky while the cobalt flames that adorn their bodies burn brightly, making them appear to be shooting stars when they fly. Their fire also wards off predators and shields them from unwanted brawls. However, despite this enmity toward bloodshed, Carinae can become dangerous when faced with peril, especially if their young are in jeopardy. Legends speak of young Carina Dragons consuming entire constellations, which then become emblazoned on their wings.

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.

Flourishes the Unending's name is a bit hard to decipher for those who do not know her family's naming traditions. "Flourishes" isn't her name, and "The Unending" isn't her title. Her name is "Flourishes the Unending", a name that describes how she acted as a hatchling, and even now it holds true. When she was young, she was entranced with the sky, as most of her species are, but more specifically she was fascinated by its vastness, and was a bit obsessed with trying to figure out exactly where the sky ended, making day-long trips to reach the horizon, but she never quite managed to get there. There was no end to the sky, which only made her like it more, and she would bring this up often. Therefore she would "flourish the unending", she's not quite as obsessive now that she's grown, but the sky's endless nature still enraptures her, and she will vanish for months on end, chasing the horizon that she knows she will never catch up to.
