Holiday dragons are a very mysterious breed. They are only seen during winter, and even then it is hard to catch a glimpse of one. They are responsible for the general cheer that spreads during the holidays. In essence, they are the “Spirits of Winter.”

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.

Noella is so shy she tends to hide when other dragons approach. She is so rarely seen that most of the other dragons forget about her or may not even know she exists.

Just once a year she manages to put her timid nature aside and ventures out into the territory. Even though she tries very hard not to be noticed, there are a few who manage to catch a glimpse, spreading rumors throughout the clan.

On Christmas night any dragons who have felt lonely, unnoticed or unloved, will find a small gift waiting for them in their caves. While many are confused as to their origin, there are a few who can guess the source and treasure their present even more.
