The union of two royal breeds brings the pinnacle of majesty: the Royal Eminence Dragon. Named for the crown-like ornamentation of their horns and the rich, lustrous purple of their hide, these large, regal dragons embody the grace and strength of a reigning monarch, and often approach the control of their territory in much the same way. Though not usually inclined to violence, a Royal Eminence dragon can be a harrowing opponent for any challenger; with their grand stature and limber movements, these dragons are startlingly quick on their feet and utilize an elegant mix of brute strength and deft strategy to conquer their adversaries. When not caught in the throes of combat, a Royal Eminence is known to be quiet and reserved, preferring to watch over their kingdoms from afar and only interfering should their denizens be threatened by an outsider. Yet these dragons are impressively diplomatic with others of their own kind and will even welcome guests from neighboring territories so long as all interactions remain respectful of the ruling host’s sovereignty, though consensus over what constitutes respect seems to vary.

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.

Enforced wants to be a water-and-disliked bugs investigator. There are two, maybe three, of these investigators on the team, but they don't want a new member, or they don't want him as a new member. He grew up believing he was born to do anything and could get any job or item he wanted if he asked, so the team repeatedly turning down his application is a slap in the face. During late winter to early fall, the water-and-disliked bugs investigators come to his home, Sum'a Ditch (a bay and its surroundings), to control the mosquito population and check the water for eggs and nymphs and other things. They are highly regarded by the community, and Enforced is highly envious. When they are near his cave during this period, he always takes the opportunity to swagger over to one of them to tell them he wants the job. Although he doesn't know anything about mosquitoes other than they're unpleasant, he can definitely learn, and the team could use a leader like him telling them what to do.
