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.

Like a diamond in the sky, this dragon shines. She illuminates the water when the sun strikes her scales. However, she is distant. It is difficult to hold her attention. Her mind wanders. Thoughts tend to drift like the plankton in the water and she loses interest in any one thing quickly. Swimming in the ocean, Diamond loses track of time and occasionally, of her place. Her lack of navigational skills does not perturb her and she swims with the currents, going with the flow, with no particular direction in mind.
