Sunsong Amphipteres are an unusual breed. Due to light interference caused by their magical nature, they don’t seem to be affected by any ambient light source. However, when struck by direct sunlight, they shine a brilliant gold. They are playful and ever in flight; their ethereal and mysterious appearance and the fact that they are usually only seen at a distance have led many to believe they are a symbol of hope and good fortune.

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.

One evening Starspawn, the Nebula Dragon, went to find an abandoned Nebula egg because she wanted a friend of her own species. But when she saw an egg that was close to dying she forgot about her plan and took it home instead. Thus Solsagan was raised by a dragon whose species could hardly be more different from hers, but the two dragons became very good friends nonetheless. Solsagan often stays up late to talk to her nocturnal friend, and that's how she found out that most nocturnal dragons have never seen the sun. This struck her as a very sad thought, and she started to tell them stories about the sun (this is how she got her name). Some dragons like listening, some find it boring, but they all love it when she uses her magic to display the colours no nocturnal dragon has ever seen on her scales.
