Arsani Dragons place a heavy emphasis on community. They are born with the innate ability to sense the emotions of others in their own species, and therefore take great care to ensure the happiness of their brethren. It’s not uncommon for them to give gifts and affection to those around them without warning. This good-natured giving extends far beyond the reaches of their own kind. Anyone who gains the friendship of a Arsani Dragon is likely to receive food, pretty rocks, and occasionally even flowers at regular intervals. The shared connection of the Arsani Dragons also allows them to draw on each other’s strength when performing feats of magic, making them some of the strongest spell casters yet discovered.

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.

Medjekli has always longed for some semblance of identity, someone to be besides a member of the little community that has carved itself a place along a rocky coastline. Although the pack is perfectly happy there, she has always thought their cave-studded cliffside far too dull. One day, though, while exploring the crags, she found a brightly-colored flower, its roots gnarled and thick from gripping the rocks. She felt a bloom of joy in her heart, and every day returned to nurture it, with the help of her magic, until it blossomed into the largest and most beautiful flower she had ever seen. She collected its seed pods and sowed them on the rocks around her cave, eager to diminish the dullness of her cliffside home with their enduring beauty.
