Seasonal Dragons take on the characteristics of the season during which they are born. Thus, eggs that are laid in spring match the pink flowers and green buds of spring, and those that are laid in the summer grow to depict the bright green of the forest trees and the yellow of the sun. Eggs laid in autumn display the bright colors of leaves falling from trees, and those that are laid during winter take on the appearance of the icy snow.

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.

Born from a caveborn Autumn dragon, and a bred earth dragon, Aiwendel is only one of many eggs that hatched between the two. Still young, she hasn't reached full maturity yet. A fine head and strong bone structure set the tone for her future developments. Her Rider was gifted her egg after a stagnant seven years and no signs of hatching. Less than a month after the exchange took place, the first hole appeared at the top of her egg. At a few months of age, she is not able to carry her Rider on her back just yet. Still, she has proven herself to be quite useful in hunting and scouting out their bearings.
