Originating from a single species that thrived in ancient times, Xenowyrms have become an incredibly diverse breed whose appearances vary depending on their habitats. Each Xenowyrm subspecies is heavily reliant on the power of a different type of mana, making them powerful magic users. Thalassas are a unique variety of Xenowyrm in that they are the only subspecies known to dwell in marine environments. Their porous skin and slender build are perfectly suited for the aquatic terrain, but they can only survive for short periods of time on land. Powerful users of water magic, they can create large waves and alter currents with a simple thought.

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.

Grace is a healer by nature. Having spend much of her youth in and around the Healing Caves, she has learned much from the resident Whites and now lives to bring as much relief as she can to the water dwelling dragons of the land. While the Healing Caves are accessible via a river, the stream is small and therefore impossible to navigate for fully grown Thalassas. The fresh water makes it unbearable to most marine species such as Deepseas. And Lys Valis can only reach so many water dragons on his journeys. No, a water breathing dragon, capable of deep diving and healing magic was sorely needed. And Grace happily fills that vacancy.
