Perhaps among the most venerated of dragon breeds is the Zyumorph, a breed whose selfless heroism and strong moral compass are nearly unparalleled by other dragons. Zyumorphs have an innate urge to fend off wrongdoing, and as such, are often sought after in times of peril. Although they are independently quite capable fighters, it is said that their true might is not unlocked until all six Zyumorphs are brought together in times of great duress.

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.

The people of Poppy Lakes village often joke that their guardian protector, Beauty Police, doesn't really do much guarding or protecting at all. Beauty insists that this is completely false, and that she works hard every day to put an end to all manner of crimes. Fashion crimes, that is. High atop her stony perch in the mountains, she watches over the town in times of celebration, carefully observing each inhabitant to make sure they don't totally embarrass themselves at the town gathering. If she spots something not to her taste, she'll swoop down with a mighty roar and declare "I don't think so, honey!", ushering the offender back into their house. Then, she'll pick out something for them herself by rooting through their entire closet. Given Beauty's enormous size, this usually results in property damage ranging from minor to severe. Once the person in question has been properly dressed, she'll retreat to her perch, with a heavy sigh- "All in a day's work."
