Vermeil Dragons are a breed known to most for maintaining simple but meticulously clean nests and shelters that, should one be caught out in bad weather, the dragons will share even with humans. They are patient, and make excellent listeners due to their even temperament and curiosity. Their pleasant scent, similar to strawberries but with stronger floral notes, tends to make the stay comfortable. However, these dragons are also known for dispensing extremely blunt advice, particularly on romantic matters. Plenty of humans caught out in the rain or snow have left a Vermeil’s den with unsolicited advice suggesting they admit their feelings before the opportunity is lost forever. While they’re difficult to anger, a threatened Vermeil will generally use its tail to defend itself, smacking the target upside the head.

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.

Aqzi's smell is fruity and heady, causing many to swoon just by being in close proximity. He is also one of the nicest dragons on this side of Walee, an inquiring mind with an inveterate desire to find answers for nagging questions, and he's not too bad looking. So many times he's had to watch over and stir awake conked out guests that the fainting is no longer surprising, but there was that unfortunate incident with the green visitor wandering toward his home who broke her wing when she collapsed atop it. There's a not-insignificant number of people who seem to seek him out on purpose, even travelers coming from the northwest, where they'd have to cross Lan Bog to get to where he is. Occasionally, Aqzi is told that he can really profit from figuring out how to get his scent bottled, but he's not interested in business.
