This breed of dragon was thought to exist only in legend. Although their name varies between cultures, they are often referred to as “Guardians of Nature.” They are able to channel the forces of fire, ice and lightning, which allows them to wield tremendous power. Seen very rarely, it is thought that they only become active when something is threatening the territory they have chosen to guard. In order to protect their chosen home, these dragons are incredibly adaptable; they have been seen everywhere from remote mountain ranges, to ancient forests, to the darkest depths of the ocean.

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.

Earth Wind and Fire simply goes by EWF, and since she protects the caves and surrounding areas, none of the other dragons are willing to tell her how silly her abbreviated name sounds. She once saw pictures of an angel protecting humans, and she has since begun to fancy herself as an angel of dragons. Since the other dragons have no idea what she is talking about, they generally ignore her ramblings about being the chosen protector. Occasionally, some of the Guardian hatchlings have commented, only to be quickly hushed by the adults.
