Sunstone Dragons are named after the orb on their tails, which resembles the gem of the same name. Their social structure resembles a lion pride, with one dominant male and several females banded together with their young. They prefer arid climates where they can blend in and dig for minerals and gemstones that they not only collect, but eat. The more gems they consume, the larger their tail stone grows. They are an aggressive breed; it is not uncommon to see two males battling for mates and territory.

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.

Of the handful of Sunstone dragons present in the Master's ever growing clan, Gr'net is the most aggressive. His prowess, however, leaves much to be desired. Because of this, he is not considered the leader of the breed though his ambition has at least earned him the status of second in command for their kind, as the Master's rule has declared that every breed is to have it's leader and his or her second in case the leader is incapacitated. However, whether Gr'net's ambition proves to be his undoing is yet to be seen.
