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.

Sweet Appalachia is the cave caretaker. She looks after the hatchlings, cleans up the messes of spilled gold coin stacks, and keeps uninvited small animals out of the cave entrance. She is so good at her job that some of the dragons have started referring to her as the "maid". Never say this to Sweet Appalachia's face, unless you're planning on committing suicide. When she's not straightening the welcome mat or turning down Jigo's stereo, Sweet Appalachia devotes her spare time to her boisterous mate, This Onyx Hero.
