Sweetlings are a small, flightless breed of dragon. They are omnivores who favor sweet fruits and honey, and have been known to go to great lengths to obtain their favorite treats. Their long, prehensile tails allow them to grab onto branches and give them superior balance. Sweetlings are expressive dragons and have a large array of calls to communicate with others. They become very vocal during breeding season and sing long, beautiful melodies to attract a mate. Inquisitive in nature, Sweetlings are known to investigate anything that piques their interest, and are quick to flee if the object of their curiosity strikes back.

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.

Passion is a book-burner; a member of a radical group that believes writing things down is dangerous and should be outlawed. REAL artists use oral storytelling like in the good old days, composing epics that take dedication to memorize rather than scribbling down nonsense and allowing just anyone to read it. So Passion takes it upon himself to destroy any physical manuscript he can get ahold of. The clan's authors are appropriately horrified, and either make duplicates of their works or keep them under strict lock and key in case the rampaging Sweetling goes looking for them.
