Two-Finned Blunas are a very social breed of dragon, living in packs of dragons called “pods.” Blunas are very curious and playful creatures and several dragons in a pod will often “play” with one other, chasing each other around, tossing seaweed back and forth, and riding ocean swells. They are occasionally seen swimming alongside whales and dolphins.

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.

Fiticilus faces a dilemma. A Bluna through and through, his highest aspiration is to be a cloud-sculptor and forever entertain his mate Tonalusa through his creations. However, his father Kathakos maintains that he should keep the tradition of their sector as warriors. Above and beyond that, the matriarch of the Deepwings line, Knevad, disproves strongly of his choice of lifemate and is attempting to have him disowned.
