Holiday dragons are a very mysterious breed. They are only seen during winter, and even then it is hard to catch a glimpse of one. They are responsible for the general cheer that spreads during the holidays. In essence, they are the “Spirits of Winter.”

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.

Komyo and his brother Heian are tasked with casting magic to entertain various guests and family members during the holiday season. Komyo usually takes care of the showy, flamboyant spells used to impress visitors or hosts, and spends months putting together displays that best demonstrate his magical abilities. Though he enjoys the attention that his fireworks and enchanted snowflakes get, the spellcasting often leaves him tired for days on end.
