Striped Dragons come in a dazzling array of colors complemented by an intricate pattern of stripes. These bright colors and patterns help attract their favorite food, insects. Because their prey is so tiny, striped dragons must spend a large portion of their day eating. The color of the offspring is usually determined by the dragon’s mate.

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.

Eberhard von Adlerstein came to the Janedragons by a quick selection from the group of abandoned eggs. He is calm, cool and collected, very strong, and a natural leader, but hides all this under a cloak of shyness. Being the only striped dragon who has no connections, he feels unwanted and unneeded. He hopes to soon take a Janedragon bride, thinking that perhaps this will enable him to settle down in the clan.
