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.

Ernestai fell in love at a young age. She found a male dragon that she loved more than anything, she never dreamed of being with anyone else. He felt the same way about her, they had decided they would be mates for life, something uncommon in their species. Eventually they even decided to leave the hive and start one of their own. They were full of hope, and then, he died. Ernestai was left all alone. She could not bring herself to return to her hive and the pain inside her was tearing her apart. So she turned to her magic. Sometimes, when in great grief over the dead Arsanis will turn to Necromancy and that was what she did. She used her power to bring him back, but when she succeeded the emotions of his pain and suffering that entered her mind were too much. She broke. No longer are her thoughts clear and of love. Now she talks to herself, wandering in circles and terrifying all that come near. Her only companion is the suffering zombie of her mate who she still refuses to let go of.
