Water Walkers are small dragons that are frequently found around bogs and ponds. While they are flightless, they retain the flight sacs and hollow bones of their airborne cousins. These traits, coupled with their extraordinarily long, webbed toes, allow them to stand on top of calm waters, using their small sails to propel them wherever they please. They spend the majority of their lives on the water, retreating to the tops of lily pads when the waters become too rough to float atop.

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.

Standing upon the marsh to which she calls home, she pads to the shores where the baby dragons await eagerly in the morning sun for her arrival. She reveals to them her wise studies, of the sun and the moon, of the night and the day, of the stars and the months, then more younglings gather even after others depart. Her messages lasts till darkness falls. When the babies are curled up and asleep, she stands upon her watery home and looks up at the sky, gazing upon their epic wonders.
