On sunny days when the sea is clear and sparkling, coastal villages are often treated to a spectacular sight. While normally shy, Tideweaver Lindwyrms are emboldened by fair weather, and when one starts to dance, the rest soon follow. However, their intricate fins and complex dances are more than just a dazzling show. Tideweavers rely on slight changes in their movements and fin positions to communicate with others of their kind. This communication is key; the lindwyrms are almost always found traveling within tightly bonded family groups. To show affection, they have been known to gently hold one another with their small front legs.

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.

Most red-finned dragons are more than happy to go about their dances whenever and wherever, but for this male, the stage is as important as the performance. Finding the shine of sun on the water to be absolutely breathtaking, he performs his dances only when the conditions are just right, performing beautiful breaches and spirals on the surface of the waves that catch every last inch of him in radiant light. In this way the infrequency of his dances is compensated for; he might not dance as often as the other males, but he's sure to steal the attention of all the females on the infrequent occasions when he does.
