Royal Blue dragons are a nocturnal breed who prefer to live high in the mountains near slow-moving water that reflects the night sky. Although quite capable of defending themselves, they are peaceful by nature and will avoid a fight whenever possible.

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.

From a young age the yearnings of experimentation called to Artemis, with the controlling power he held over his subjects, giving the shy and nervous hatchling the confidence he needed to continue. Born to important, yet incredibly busy parents, Artemis was free to experiment with whatever he wanted moving from ants, to mice, to deer and eventually to other hatchlings. Holding them down, he would test how long they could stay out in the winter air before they got a cold, how long they could survive in heat before they fainted and how far he could make them hurt one of their hatchmates before they refused to continue. His confidence bounded, and he soon began to experiment on adult dragons but his hastiness overtook him and the Clans discovered his true side. Shamed, he fled the clans, retreating to a lair deep down in the caverns, now experimenting on eggs in the hope he could one day create the sickly green dragon of nursery tales. His last dream.
