Valentine eggs are only seen once a year. Adults’ mating seasons are very short, usually spanning a few weeks in the mid-to-late winter. These dragons were once reputed to be omens of good luck in love.

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.

Liag, for unknown reasons, wants to become a skilled user of weather-related magic. Her affinity with the magi element does aid her a little, but that's not enough. Because she won't divulge what she's planning to do, she cannot find a teacher, and the mana guardians over at the Sierra Valley Emporium refuse to provide magical goods out of fear that she's up to no good. They've outright said that they'll allow "idle curiosity" as a reason, but Liag just flicks her tail and says there is a better reason that she cannot say. The chief of Sierra now has an agent discreetly watching her for any suspicious behavior, though he's reported little so far. Liag's ridgewing mate seems equally puzzled by her secrecy as everyone else, and he's starting to worry.
