This breed of dragon was thought to exist only in legend. Although their name varies between cultures, they are often referred to as “Guardians of Nature.” They are able to channel the forces of fire, ice and lightning, which allows them to wield tremendous power. Seen very rarely, it is thought that they only become active when something is threatening the territory they have chosen to guard. In order to protect their chosen home, these dragons are incredibly adaptable; they have been seen everywhere from remote mountain ranges, to ancient forests, to the darkest depths of the ocean.

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.

Fortune's Alter Imperator is the most powerful dragon in the clan and the most rarely seen. The Cave Mistress has long known that one day her time will end and the dragons that she had raised and loved will be left to fend for themselves. In preparation of that day she set about raising a replacement to watch over her beloved dragons.

Alter Imperator was a talented and devoted student who has taken her duties to heart. She rarely engages with any of the dragons in the clan but keeps a watchful eye on all of them. Her powers allow her to pass safely anywhere in the territory unchallenged, although she seldom interferes with the daily lives of her charges. Should the need for her presence arise Alter Imperator will reveal herself and resolve the issues as quickly and as bloodlessly as possible before slinking back into anonymity.
