Perhaps among the most venerated of dragon breeds is the Zyumorph, a breed whose selfless heroism and strong moral compass are nearly unparalleled by other dragons. Zyumorphs have an innate urge to fend off wrongdoing, and as such, are often sought after in times of peril. Although they are independently quite capable fighters, it is said that their true might is not unlocked until all six Zyumorphs are brought together in times of great duress.

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.

Kogane keeps an eye on the shelters and human-constructed living dwellings present within the jungle, keeping the inhabitants safe by fending off large predators and announcing incoming heavy rains with loud roars. The humans who welcome dragons into their homes, especially those who adopt abandoned hatchlings and eggs, often receive some sign of gratitude from Kogane for their kindness. Over the years he has left at various doorsteps wood for building, fresh fruit from the tree canopy, and on rare occasions, sparkling gemstones pulled from the jungle hills.
