Deep Sea Dragons, as their name suggests, spend most of their time in the darkest depths of the sea. They have a bioluminescent dorsal spine that serves to attract prey and communicate with their own kind. As with many deep sea animals, they generally eat whatever they can manage to bait. They rarely leave the ocean floor, surfacing only during breeding season. When they do choose to travel to the shallower depths, they avoid bright lights and will only come up far away from shore.

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.

You decide to take a walk by the beach. You look up at the moon and note it is in a crescent phase. Not too long after, you see something out of the corner of your eye. You turn to look at it and see a small Deep Sea dragon.

You find this odd, as the moon is very bright. She glances at you, as if reading your mind, and then looks straight at the moon, as if absorbing its power.

You continue walking, but can't help but look back. She's gone, but a piece of paper is on the shore. You pick it up, careful not to rip it as it is damp, and read this:
