Aether Wyverns have the ability to control winds utilising air mana. During mating season, rival males often attempt to impress females by hanging onto a rock beside the female and letting another Aether Wyvern blast gale-force winds at them. The one to stay on the rock the longest wins, and if the female wins, she will reject both males. These wyverns also use their ability to control winds to blow away intruding dragons or to capture prey, though an Aether Wyvern’s aim is not perfect. As a solution to their imperfect aim, these wyverns will create large winds that often blow away much more than they originally intended to.

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.

When Joleigh wasn't paying attention, her family's rocky territory was partially turned into a town with lots of humans. She swears she looked away only for a minute, maybe just a decade or two, and suddenly, some terrain was flattened and little buildings popped up with their cute sloped roofs. The humans even built a fake beach by crushing a bunch of rubble left behind and bringing in water from the river. They probably don't know their settlement is on territory inhabited by a bunch of dragons, only one very nice Aether Wyvern who knows lots of magic facts. Joleigh's clan members have been away for an indefinite amount of time for travel and politics stuff, and she was tasked with land-sitting. They could return any day now, and they likely won't be happy to see what happened to their caves and formations... although maybe her mate will think the fake beach is OK.
