Blusang Lindwyrms are quite different from most dragons in that they lack hind legs. In this regard, they resemble snakes, and this is evident in their movement; these lindwyrms slither along the ground, using their forelegs to lift them over rougher terrain. Blusangs are a coastal breed, preferring to live along rocky beaches and in seaside caves rather than sandy locations. They are omnivores who graze on seaweed from time to time, although their primary form of sustenance is fish.

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.

Shenzhou can often be seen lying on the beach, writing plays. She loves making up stories and writing her friends and family (and many people she doesn't know personally) as characters. She travels a lot to see what's happening around the region and writes about her experiences, and she uses her imagination and lots of books to fill in the holes in her narrative. The main problem with Shenzhou's scripts is that they're hard to read—most everyone finds things are just too dramatic. There's rarely a moment of peace, there are too many characters and events in a short time, everyone's filled with inner turmoil and angst about the smallest things, and the stories constantly break their own established laws, dropping the audience's willing suspension of disbelief. Many readers compare Shenzhou's plays to corn and cheese, though some of them like reading corn and cheese. Others can't endure a single page, saying it's too too difficult to read because it's rife with dramatical errors.
