Sunrise Dragons are closely related to sunset dragons. However, their behaviors differ greatly. Sunrise Dragons prefer to live in large groups and enjoy basking in the early morning sun. They are usually most active in the morning, and go to sleep in the early evening.

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.

De la Sol is the former dominant female (matriarch) of the Draestrix dragon flock. She was recently displaced from her throne in a coup led by Serafina and her son, Del Sol. Her age made her vulnerable to the threat and unable to put down the younger, fresher, dragons. She was not evicted, but allowed to remain in the tribe as an elder and valued advisor due to her wisdom and experience.
