Canopy Dragons love to soar above the tropical jungles and other densely forested areas. Their billowing, layered wings create generous lift that allows them to ascend effortlessly over the warm jungle. While their unique wings do not make them the fastest flyers, they are champion gliders. To further this end, dexterity, maneuverability, and grace are all judged by the females when selecting their mates from the males that can accurately complete the exhausting and elaborate courtship dance between the close growing branches of the upper canopy.

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.

Weirr is as gentle and aimless as a daydream dragon, something her father is strangely proud of. Since she was raised by Satchell, she took to the idea of exploration with a frenzied passion, and decided to blaze a new trail into the wild blue yonder. She has set up a spell between two pieces of wide parchment paper; one is in Mesconna's cave, and the other she keeps on her at all times. They are both copies of the same map, namely hers, and whenever she updates her piece the other one matches what she has done.
