Melismor Dragons are social, good-natured dragons that enjoy the shelter of forested areas. They live in close-knit family groups, burrowing deep into the earth and creating extensive, winding networks of underground burrows. While rarely seen at the surface, Melismor Dragons, when encountered, are known to be fiercely loyal and protective, yet kind when their families aren’t in any danger. These dragons are omnivorous, but most of their diet consists of plants, especially tender roots, and honey is a favored treat they’ll often bring back to their burrows to share.
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.
Burrowgolden is a gatherer in the Weyr of Flame, collecting herbs, flowers, and assorted plant life to contribute to the good of the Weyr overall. Once she's finished her quota for a season, her favorite hobby is to travel the Weyr and learn about the naming traditions of different Clans of dragons. It's all quite fascinating! In her own Melismor Clan, most adults' names begin with the draconian word for 'burrow,' indicating the underground weaving dens where they live in a family community of food and warmth. And throughout the Weyr of Flame, growing hatchlings are given names that begin with the word for 'small' until they're old enough to choose for themselves.
Burrowgolden has even heard legends that there used to exist tiny dragons who named themselves with that prefix, uniting themselves as a subgroup of the grown dragons through that naming convention. Of course, imagining a tiny dragon is laughable, but it's funny to wonder how such small dragons might have named themselves.
