Sophrosyne Dragons are a rare sight, typically making themselves known only to protect and heal the vulnerable. A visit from one serves as a reminder that kindness prevails, and that there’s always hope for positive change. While it is known that they possess the power to reverse botched spells, some claim they can even cure methodically-cast curses. This has never been formally documented, but these dragons have been seen arriving in the aftermath of violence, and the scars of tragedy seem to heal faster in their wake. The feathers of a Sophrosyne have thus become a symbol of perseverance and light in the face of darkness.

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.

Prancer Rippley was perhaps a bit vain. He had broad wings, that were also elegantly long. Often he would look over his shoulder when flirting just to show off the breadth of his wings. A jilted Magi ex-girlfriend decided to play a joke on him one Halloween afternoon. When Prancer looked into a puddle, he could tell immediately something changed. His masculine wings had become smaller and perkier, and they were not nearly as long. However, it was not only his wings that changed. He had been turned female. Horrified, he went to every magic practicing dragon he knew, but none could fix him. It was not until midnight that he was male again, and he never treated any of his dates badly again, just in case they were crazy witches.
