Azure Glacewing Dragons are one of the largest breeds. They grow to overwhelming sizes; folklore tells of ancient dragons outgrowing even lakes and mountains. They are quite oblivious in nature, and rarely care for—or even notice—the presence of other, smaller creatures. When hungry, an Azure Glacewing might strike suddenly, securing a tasty snack. An adult Glacewing is often more commonly found in the sea than in the sky or on land, due to their enormous weight. However, come mating season, Azure Glacewings return to the forests in which they were born, so that the young have lots of game to feed on.

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.

Dotson is the guardian of a hundreds-of-years-old artifact, the Pine Cone of Keredig, and she does this because the Sinomorph Herself came to her and assigned this important job to her, and for the good of those unworthy who would misuse the object's power. A pine cone artifact is ostensibly less exciting than a crown or statue, but in Dotson's opinion, Keredig's brothers and sisters had excessive tastes while she had the sensibility to value something closer to nature. When someone does try to climb the Blessed Cliff to steal it, Dotson is there to turn the thief away, and she has always been able to figure out ways to do so peacefully. Guard duty is pretty boring every day, but she very well knows that she can't become lazy or complacent; that's when the real action happens, and she'll want to be prepared. She keeps her mind sharp and her body fit during her free time by devising puzzles while walking laps in the bay.
