Rift Wyrms are dragons adapted to both the frigid depths of the sea and the void that exists in the space between spaces. They have the ability to rip holes in the fabric of space that lead into and out of the void, and can manipulate the size and location of these rifts with additional effort. Their bodies give off an unsettling chill, while their mouths tend to glow from the mana they’ve consumed. Between their appearance and their method of travel, Rift Wyrms have a reputation as eldritch creatures that do not belong in this world. They tend to have a mischievous streak facilitated by their abilities. This ranges by individual from harmless japery to active malevolence, and many people and dragons are wary of them. Despite their reputation as tricksters, these wyrms are curious and may choose to help others on a whim just as often as they decide to harm.

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.

What started as a support group for non-zyumorph children of sinomorph and zyumorph parents soon grew into a team of would-be heroes. The members never stop arguing, nobody can agree on a name, and the "villains" they face are all largely playacting, but the group still strives to make its mark on the world. Jekemi's parents were reasonably ordinary rifts, but one of his grandparents was a sinomorph. He's heard enough about that grandparent to be inspired to use his powers for good, so he's annoyed that most of the team's adventures would fit right in as one of Roaring Lion Production's Spectaculars serials (or, more likely, land in the pile of stories that even they would reject as too improbable and cliched).
