Blusang Lindwyrms are quite different from most dragons in that they lack hind legs. In this regard, they resemble snakes, and this is evident in their movement; these lindwyrms slither along the ground, using their forelegs to lift them over rougher terrain. Blusangs are a coastal breed, preferring to live along rocky beaches and in seaside caves rather than sandy locations. They are omnivores who graze on seaweed from time to time, although their primary form of sustenance is fish.

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.

This Blusang still has scars, physical and emotional, from a troubled past. Long ago, when she was a hatchling, a group of violent dragons held a raid against her family. Everything was taken; valuables, territory, lives... and herself. She was snatched from her nest and carried away from her home to become a prisoner.

The clan, known mysteriously as the Dungeon Masters, did not treat her well. She was manipulated ruthlessly to succumb to their every whim. They could order her to do anything, and she obeyed out of fear. Growing up in this way, it wasn't until one fateful night that she realized that her wings had grown to an impressive size. She could fly away, and leave her prison.

It took another few weeks for opportunity to strike, but she eventually escaped, fleeing to a group of nicer dragons who agreed to take her in. Now she is rarely known to speak, and when she does, her voice wavers. The only question she answers with conviction regards her name.
