Seasonal Dragons take on the characteristics of the season during which they are born. Thus, eggs that are laid in spring match the pink flowers and green buds of spring, and those that are laid in the summer grow to depict the bright green of the forest trees and the yellow of the sun. Eggs laid in autumn display the bright colors of leaves falling from trees, and those that are laid during winter take on the appearance of the icy snow.

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.

Midi would spend Autumn, Winter and Spring in the back of the cave, asleep, where the cold was unable to reach him. Being a Summer dragon, he hated it and thus preferred to sleep through the three seasons, only to emerge in Summer when it was warm enough. He would emerge into the summer sun, only to lie down and bask in it. The others may have called him lazy, but he was just storing energy for the months ahead.
