Skywing Dragons spend most of their lives flying in the air. They hunt from the air, diving at prey from above, and land only to rest. They are some of the fastest fliers, capable of extremely high speeds. The webbing at the end of the tail acts as a rudder, allowing them to easily change direction during flight.

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.

Skyanirae, Skye for short, hatched atop the zenith. This is the most prime spot for her kind to nest upon. At the peak's altitude, one can see the earth's rounded surface blurred far below, but only on the clearest of days. High-speed winds constantly buffet the zenith, making the rock structure thin over the centuries. It's a precarious perch, but the skywings vie for the spot nonetheless. Once the young skywing hatched from the safety of her egg, she was scooped up by the perpetual winds. Luckily, instinct took over and her flimsy wings unfurled and became rigid, and she soon found control over her movements. Like all skywing dragons, her body is snake-like, making her very well adapted to life in the sky. She traveled the world aimlessly until she caught the eye of the proud silver dragon, Daxius. The skywing dragon is the embodiment of freedom, and this is what made her attractive to Daxius. The two spend most of their time in the mountains, where their worlds touch.
