Astralophyne Dragons are talented magic users in many aspects, their most prominent area of expertise being that of supportive magic. In addition to normal healing powers, these dragons can tap into the energies of the soular plane using a circular glyph for especially powerful healing and strengthening magics. When the glyph is summoned, their tail tips and wings flair out, and their fur billows and bristles from the ambient energy as if a gust is blowing around them. This exceptional power takes much time and effort to learn, training beginning from a young age and mastery considered to be a mark of true adulthood. They are scholars at heart, ever eager in the study of the arcane and medicinal. In part due to this, Astralophynes can be found in varying professions; some settle down to raise medicinal herbs and insects, some teach their knowledge, and some travel around in further study of magic, occasionally healing those they come across. Some especially brave have been known to join other valiant dragons, supporting them in battles against great threats.

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.

Cleric is a very talented and prolific magic user, even among other Astralophyne. She wasn't just born with talent, however. For years, she trained under a master, whom she met through her mate, Ventus. The two of them had been close friends and, upon hearing of Cleric's interest in magic, Ventus enlisted her as his friend's apprentice. Cleric was very loyal to her master, and his studies allowed her to become as great as she is. His most valuable possession was a book his family had written containing all their knowledge of magic and spells. One dark day, however, the despicable Scourgekeeper, Master Dungeonsculpter, killed her master in battle and stole his book. Devastated and enraged, Cleric swore to avenge her dear master and reclaim his treasured possession from the Scourgekeeper. She joined forces with five other dragons, each of whom had also lost something important to them to Master.
