Shimmer-scale Dragons are a very beautiful breed with small—but highly reflective—scales that shimmer and shine as the dragon moves through water. They don’t have fins or webbed feet, but their long, eel-like bodies allow them to swim quite fast. They were once rumored to carry large pearls in their claws—causing many to seek them out in search of this fabulous treasure. In reality, the “pearl” is of greater value to the dragon, for the fabled treasure is actually an egg carried by a migrating female.

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.

Endor loves to swim not only through the interconnected rivers and lakes of the lands of the clan but into the ocean out to far away islands as well. His favourite place is a small island he discovered with friendly, little, hairy creatures living there. The small bear-like mammals are primitive but Endor is pretty sure that they have some level of self-awareness and intelligence, probably about the same level of consciousness those hairless apes, his clans deals with so frequently, possess.

Now if he could just get them to come close enough he might be able to establish a telepathic connection, but so far the little creatures seem to be too much in awe of his shimmering scales to find the courage to approach him.
