On sunny days when the sea is clear and sparkling, coastal villages are often treated to a spectacular sight. While normally shy, Tideweaver Lindwyrms are emboldened by fair weather, and when one starts to dance, the rest soon follow. However, their intricate fins and complex dances are more than just a dazzling show. Tideweavers rely on slight changes in their movements and fin positions to communicate with others of their kind. This communication is key; the lindwyrms are almost always found traveling within tightly bonded family groups. To show affection, they have been known to gently hold one another with their small front legs.

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.

The young sea-dwelling dragon gazed at the moon on a summer night, as the waves slowly immersed her. She succumbed to a sleep that had yet to come for days now.

When she awoke from her delayed sleep, she found the world around her dancing and fleeting; a large swarm of her kind and sea dwellers she had never seen were racing and squeezing past one another in great hurry. She, who was still groggy and dazed from her long sleep, soon saw the reason the sea dwellers were fleeing- a toweringly massive hulk of metal and rock was plunging straight for her. It was bigger than anything she saw above the surface, and in fact, it was just about the most mesmerizing thing she had seen. The midday sun reflected off of it, giving off a glare that caught her eyes. But then it crashed straight into her, and having no chance of survival, she closed her eyes and let go.

When she woke up, she realized a dragon had taken care of her. Little did she know it was a Guardian of Nature that had saved her.
