Shimmer-scale Dragons are a very beautiful breed with small—but highly reflective—scales that shimmer and shine as the dragon moves through water. They don’t have fins or webbed feet, but their long, eel-like bodies allow them to swim quite fast. They were once rumored to carry large pearls in their claws—causing many to seek them out in search of this fabulous treasure. In reality, the “pearl” is of greater value to the dragon, for the fabled treasure is actually an egg carried by a migrating female.

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.

The word 'deasil' refers to the direction of the sun, and is considered as lucky. Being associated with this word, it is fair to assume that Deasil himself is extremely lucky. Unfortunately for him this is false, and he often finds himself unlucky at best. However, simply being in his presence is enough to bring great luck to those around him, as a result garnering him a lot of attention. Deasil himself despises the attention, preferring his own company to large gatherings.
