Perhaps among the most venerated of dragon breeds is the Zyumorph, a breed whose selfless heroism and strong moral compass are nearly unparalleled by other dragons. Zyumorphs have an innate urge to fend off wrongdoing, and as such, are often sought after in times of peril. Although they are independently quite capable fighters, it is said that their true might is not unlocked until all six Zyumorphs are brought together in times of great duress.

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.

Shori is one of the few dragons who knows the location of a special type of volcanic flower highly sought-after by lovestruck individuals hoping to impress their sweetheart. The flower, which grows only at the peaks of the tallest volcanoes, feeds off of life mana veins drawn from lava rock. It is said that these flowers turn to crystallized mana after one hundred years, making them symbolic of enduring love through hardship and time. Whenever someone goes questing for these flowers, Shori keeps an eye on their progress, and ensures that they only take one flower back to their loved one. Should anyone approach the flowers with a greedy intent, Shori will chase them down the volcano, flinging embers and ash at them.
