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.

Sedijan is even more of a loner than his father is, which many didn't even think was possible. He shuns the company of anyone, where Jeko Silvergleam at least tolerates the presence of his mate, and has found a home far removed from other dragons. Sedijan spends his time making elaborate mosaics, which he creates using beetle shells, rocks, and his own shed scales.
