Daydream Dragons are the hosts of daydreams and fantasies. They spend the majority of their time sitting on clouds, dropping daydreams down into the minds of people passing by. Humans who live near Daydream Dragons must be especially careful not to let their thoughts wander, or they could end up spending hours or even days in a trance-like waking dream state.

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.

Though most members of her breed are unconcerned with worldly events, Alia tries to be more aware. She has a kind heart and had always wanted to help others, beyond just giving them a pleasant daydream. To this end, she decided to study healing. While her attention span leaves much to be desired, her mentor (and mate) Haloth says she shows promise. While she has little control, Alia tries to use her aura to calm and sedate injured dragons. This allows her mate to heal them without having to worry about keeping his patients still. She enjoys caring for hatchlings and hopes to have some of her own one day.
