Originating from a single species that thrived in ancient times, Xenowyrms have become an incredibly diverse breed whose appearances vary depending on their habitats. Each Xenowyrm subspecies is heavily reliant on the power of a different type of mana, making them powerful magic users. Thalassas are a unique variety of Xenowyrm in that they are the only subspecies known to dwell in marine environments. Their porous skin and slender build are perfectly suited for the aquatic terrain, but they can only survive for short periods of time on land. Powerful users of water magic, they can create large waves and alter currents with a simple thought.

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.

One summer's day, a young woman (who was also a dragon raiser) had ventured far from her home for the purpose of exploring beyond the borders of the land she calls home. Suddenly, the blue of the summer sky was blotted out by the clouds of an approaching storm, and the girl started to head for home as quick as she could. She'd gone deeper into the forest, one new egg in her pack already, and eventually the forest opened up onto a sandy coastline. Stepping closer to the water, a glint of something caught her eye. Another glassy egg lay half-buried in the surf, and the girl scooped it up just as a wave threatened to wash it out to sea. She placed it into her bag next to the one from the forest, and headed in the direction of home, towards a smoking mountain.

Splashwyrm isn't much for conversation, he usually lets his Sunsong mate, Daffodilshine, speak for the both of them. He prefers to spend his time hunting for food or for sunken treasures such as 'dinglehoppers' and 'snarfblatts'.
