It was previously believed that purple dragons were exclusively female, but this is not the case. Recent environmental shifts have revealed the existence of both genders of this breed. Female behavior is well known; they are primarily herbivores but will eat meat during mating season. On the other hand, very little is known about the behavior and habits of male purple dragons.

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.

From the beginning, Tmesis had always wanted to be a healer. She worked, she practiced, but her magic was weak, and there was no use for a magicless hand, when there was no other way to heal. And thus her training was interrupted, and her dreams, shattered. She met Diaphora soon after, however, and a connection sprung; they became fast friends. The two of them later came across a battered magi, and Tmesis instantly recalled the ways of technical healing. And indeed she did heal him, to near to full health, and that was when she saw the madness. Not in herself, oh surely not, but in the eyes of her friend Diaphora. Both the two fell quietly in love with the magi Acyron, but when she thought, really thought, Tmesis would find her mind curiously blank.
