Spirit Ward Dragons are a special breed that ward off evil spirits—at least, that’s what the legends say. During nighttime festivals, people love to see these dragons, because they believe that the dragons guard against evil spirits. The dragons are dark-colored, but glow with a flame-colored internal light that has an intensity that they control.

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.

His parents want a female, but they continue to give birth to male hatchlings. This dragon was the lucky one, their first-born, whom they did not have the heart to abandon. Rather, he was subjected to intentional neglect. He was cast aside, almost completely ignored. His parents only came to care for him when he cried loud enough, so he cried. The result is a loud, boastful and needy Spirit Ward. He tries his best to sweep his past under the rug, but it rises to bite him like a venomous serpent at every opportunity.
