On sunny days when the sea is clear and sparkling, coastal villages are often treated to a spectacular sight. While normally shy, Tideweaver Lindwyrms are emboldened by fair weather, and when one starts to dance, the rest soon follow. However, their intricate fins and complex dances are more than just a dazzling show. Tideweavers rely on slight changes in their movements and fin positions to communicate with others of their kind. This communication is key; the lindwyrms are almost always found traveling within tightly bonded family groups. To show affection, they have been known to gently hold one another with their small front legs.

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 waters part before Red-finned Tidal Dragons, and Palaias is no exception. Her fins are the pride of her family- they glimmer under the moonlight, and shine like diamonds through sprays of ocean. Her speeds match those of soaring Royal Blues, and equal that of any male's. A hunter of the sea, but a curious one at heart, any ship passing through her family's territory is honored by meeting a Red-finned Tidal. Paladias's favorite fish, the sardine, swim in huge schools near the surface in warm climates. Her scales blend in with the crystal waters of her home ocean, the gorgeous fire of her fins matching the coral below. Considered by many to be the grandest, most intelligent species of sea serpent, Paladias knows the ocean as home.
