Falconiform Wyverns are normally shy creatures. However, when approached, they often feel threatened, and the flames along their bodies leap higher. Females tend to be smaller than males, though Falconiform Wyverns are typically rather large overall. They use their size to their advantage by hunting smaller dragons. The Falconiform’s graceful, swooping dives are said to resemble birds of prey. Falconiforms are largely solitary dragons that only meet in order to breed.

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.

Savartha is regarded as dangerous and eccentric by most, though this spawns entirely from a lack of trust. She sees virtually everyone as a threat, and few have approached her survive her efficient attacks. The reason for this is unknown, though the clan close to her territory has its own theory.

According to their story, Savartha was once sweet but painfully shy and never was able to speak to anyone but her older sister (said to be a certain cranky old Falconiform in the clan). But she was betrayed when her sister courted a dragon whom Savartha liked. It is said that, upon seeing the two of them together, anger overcame her shyness and she sprang at her sister, leaving a horrid scar that she still wears today and lept into the woods, never to be seen again. The story is, of course, a silly hatchlings' tale, but strangely, Savartha has been seen several times on the edge of the camp. She stares almost guiltily at the elder Falconiform's den, as if too afraid to approach.
