Scimitar-wing Wyverns are a small breed, eating mainly birds and small vertebrates; as such, they lack the large teeth and heavy claws of their larger cousins. They are far from defenseless, however, and are named for the blade-like growth that forms over the first digit of their wings. The wyverns use these blades to defend themselves from any attacker. Their blades are quite strong and can cut through almost any scale or hide.

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.

Inappreciable has a bitter rivalry with another wyvern who unknowingly wronged him decades ago, and she has no idea that Inappreciable is her rival. Actually, he doesn't know where she even lives, but once he finds her, he will tell her all of his achievements, show her how skilled he is in a number of things, and most important of all, let her know that they have a rivalry. For now, though, Inappreciable trains and travels and takes notes. He occasionally finds an old acquaintance and is able to get more information on his rival's whereabouts through them. Although they're happy to help and hang out with him, they often tell him to let go of his years-old animosity and forgive the other dragon for whatever she did, but this is a very important matter to him and he must find her.
