Sunsong Amphipteres are an unusual breed. Due to light interference caused by their magical nature, they don’t seem to be affected by any ambient light source. However, when struck by direct sunlight, they shine a brilliant gold. They are playful and ever in flight; their ethereal and mysterious appearance and the fact that they are usually only seen at a distance have led many to believe they are a symbol of hope and good fortune.

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.

This dragon was once heir to the noble house of Aetas--but his forefathers lost their names due to the betrayal committed by their human companion, and as such, he has been disgraced in turn. Abandoning his tainted family name, he has since taken to calling himself "Tattered," and travels in lands where his ancestor's sin is not so well known. It was during these travels that he came across another sunsong who took the name Aetas, a young and gentle creature who despite his name shared no blood with the previous holders of the title. Tattered couldn't help but be amused by this, and has since taken the boy in as something of a pupil, hoping that the kind natured youth will someday purge the taint surrounding the name Aetas, even if that name is no longer his own.
