Spirit Ward Dragons are a special breed that ward off evil spirits—at least, that’s what the legends say. During nighttime festivals, people love to see these dragons, because they believe that the dragons guard against evil spirits. The dragons are dark-colored, but glow with a flame-colored internal light that has an intensity that they control.

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.

Aferdita Shpresa is an excellent strategist. Logic, systematics, and theoretical considerations is her world. She is eager for knowledge and always endeavors to expand and perfect her knowledge in any area which intrigues her. Abstract thinking comes naturally to Aferdita. Aferdita is the light bearer of the mountain fortress in her clan, a fortress that is a sanctuary for all her clan members that live in the mountainous clan territory. Being a Spirit Ward Dragon, Aferdita can glow intensely and in different colors. So when Aferdita glows, she can communicate to her whole clan what is happening in her region. Red for danger or purple for a meeting etc. Due to her duty being a light bearer Aferdita is forced to stay in the fortress. Afterdita doesn't like the cold conditions of where the fortress is located but due to that the fortress is always holding intellectual events she makes due. She is therefore never bored where she works. Aferdita is best friends with Dimitrios Yorgos.
