Neotropical Dragons are a breed that originate in rainforests. They are fun-loving and enjoy lounging on tree branches, eating whatever fruit they find. They are also often found sunning themselves on rocks, using their large wings to soak up the rays. In the summer, males compete for mates by showing off their striped wings and gliding in spirals down the tree trunks. It is said that the larger the wings, the more likely the male will attract a suitable mate.

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.

An expert at the art of socializing, First Earl Pelir plies his contacts subtly but relentlessly for whatever rumors might prove valuable to his monarchs.  During his free time, Pelir amuses himself by constructing hiding places in the upper foliage of the forest surrounding the mountain's base.  As a hatchling, he had focused his efforts on trees closer to the peak, but eventually gave up.  Sarise and Ferra's frequent (and more often than not, seemingly incongruous) tussles always ended up destroying any progress he'd made.  They did apologize, but their remorse never stopped them from going right back to their rough play afterwards.
