Shimmer-scale Dragons are a very beautiful breed with small—but highly reflective—scales that shimmer and shine as the dragon moves through water. They don’t have fins or webbed feet, but their long, eel-like bodies allow them to swim quite fast. They were once rumored to carry large pearls in their claws—causing many to seek them out in search of this fabulous treasure. In reality, the “pearl” is of greater value to the dragon, for the fabled treasure is actually an egg carried by a migrating female.

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.

Possessing an ancestry of which even the mighty Thuweds might be envious, this shining male is the result of five generations of political alliances, unions carefully arranged to unite no less than eight of the most noble draconic houses. But while his family is quite the thing to be proud of, this mischievous male would much rather be playful than pompous. Friendly and energetic, Kizoku is as well known for his pranks as for his family tree, and has caused chaos to break out at more than one stuffy family reunion thanks to his tricks.
