With their iridescent wings and sleek gray bodies, Iridichi Dragons are an enchanting sight to behold in the decaying autumnal world. Coming across an Iridichi, or having one approach you, can either be a blessing or a curse; rumor has it, Iridichi Dragons are messengers and anchors for the dead. Their disconcerting white eyes always seem to connect to the spiritual world, and the intimacy of life and death during autumn compels them to seek the deceased. Superstitious folks claim that the magical effects of their wings allow the dead to be seen as well as heard. As a result, travelers seek out Iridichi Dragons during their most active season, claiming they act as a bridge between the living and the dead. Iridichi Dragons have allegedly facilitated hauntings and offered consolation for those departed with unfinished business when a simple message will not suffice.

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.

After leaving her homeland, Infaustus moved into one of the forests of Glean Iyrav because she liked the sight of the sloping hills, especially during fall. To her disappointment, the denizens told her that their communities have rules, and she, of course, has to follow them like everyone else. She dislikes being made to obey rules; it's why she left her parents' care early. She would constantly, but unsuccessfully, challenge the rules, and she gained her current nickname, Infaustus, for her failures. Five years after settling down at Iyrav, Infaustus learned through correspondence with her father that the individual she believed was her adoptive mother was actually one of the fabled Pit-banshees she heard about as a child, under a great illusion. That would explain the "sad singing", but it put more questions into her mind. It certainly changes the family dynamic, and she really should visit her parents sometime, but she still hasn't felt like getting off her bum to to see them.
