Guardian Dragons have large shields on the end of their tails. Although the shields appear to be heavy, they are light, yet nearly unbreakable. Guardian Dragons use their tail-shields, as well as their wings, to deflect attacks and protect others. Often, they will guard the eggs and hatchlings of a nest while others are away. They are generally peaceful, and will not retaliate unless necessary. They have no need to forage or hunt, as they are fed by those they protect.

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.

Sacha is a stubborn protector, a minor noble of small lands but nonetheless does her best to protect her territory. She is disciplined and versatile, acting as a proper lady in court and a fierce warrior in the field. Sacha took in Gael after saving him from some bandits. Growing fond of him, she granted him her surname and status. When she is relaxing from her duties, she plays the harpsichord and reads up on tactical strategies.
