Seasonal Dragons take on the characteristics of the season during which they are born. Thus, eggs that are laid in spring match the pink flowers and green buds of spring, and those that are laid in the summer grow to depict the bright green of the forest trees and the yellow of the sun. Eggs laid in autumn display the bright colors of leaves falling from trees, and those that are laid during winter take on the appearance of the icy snow.

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.

There is a certain lake somewhere in the land that is surrounded by various ice statues and other forms of frozen art every winter. This is Snow Jester's lake. She is an icy artist that comes out every winter and creates art work out of the frozen landscape for others to enjoy. She is very protective of her work, and thus, will pelt anyone who messes it up with a plethora of snowballs. When she is not creating artwork she is playing with the hatchlings that come out to enjoy the snow. Like the snow, she disappears for another year at winter's end.
