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.

Niyiso is the wife of Priest Goronogad, though she is not one of the original six priests of the Temple of Aether and joined the temple long after its founding. Some may think of her as a stay-at-home mom as she rarely ever leaves the temple, though in reality she is the temple's sole guardian. While the Priests may occasionally leave it on missions, Niyiso is eternally and fiercely protecting the holy grounds, and at times has undergone great peril to defend it. Yet during times of peace, there isn't much to do at home but clean up loose bricks. For this reason she tends to be (much to her annoyance) thought of as boring by outsiders, though this is only because they're lucky to not live in a time of war.
