Holiday dragons are a very mysterious breed. They are only seen during winter, and even then it is hard to catch a glimpse of one. They are responsible for the general cheer that spreads during the holidays. In essence, they are the “Spirits of Winter.”

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.

On a frightful December night not too long ago, a blizzard howled beyond the warm shelter of the cave. Only the bravest of dragons dared to venture into the storm, fearing that they might be swallowed up in its gale. None expected to find an egg sitting in the entrance of the cave, twitching every now and then as if shivering from the cold. It appeared as if snowflakes swirled just beneath its shell, nearly matching the ferocity of the blizzard. Thus, Snow Globe earned his name. Since that remarkably cold night, he has made it his duty to search the snow for orphaned eggs. Many have lived to tell the tale of his kind eyes and silvery coat being their beacon of hope on such a night.
