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.

Anna has always been one to fall hard and fast. Although she has a quick mind and a keen intellect, she has never been able to stop herself from falling head over heels with any dragon who pays her a compliment. It is possible this is due to being isolated as a child that her longing for companionship manifests itself in the desperation to be close to another individual, but Anna is incapable of rational thought when she is in love. Although she has not met the one yet, she has a picture in her mind of all the qualities that she wants him to be, yet her rose tinted glasses can turn even the most smelly and ugly dragon into her Prince Charming. Her desperation for love and too be loved leaves her crying alone in her nest at night, unwilling to show her unhappiness to the outside world. So every day she will wake up and put on her smile, then spend her days looking for the one who will prevent her tears from falling.
