Sunsong Amphipteres are an unusual breed. Due to light interference caused by their magical nature, they don’t seem to be affected by any ambient light source. However, when struck by direct sunlight, they shine a brilliant gold. They are playful and ever in flight; their ethereal and mysterious appearance and the fact that they are usually only seen at a distance have led many to believe they are a symbol of hope and good fortune.

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.

Glitter had a wonderfully extensive family, and while this was awesome in many ways, in others it was... decidedly less so. Every single time she found a handsome man of similar pedigree with who she wanted to spend the rest of her innumerable days, it was "oh we share a great great great great uncle this," "but we're third cousins twice removed on your grandma's side removed" that--always some stupid ancient shared ancestor which lord forbid they shared, lest everyone start screaming incest--never mind the fact that EVERYONE was related somehow ANYWAY! While she fumes about this quite often, her parents often uncomfortably scratch their heads and keep unsaid the fact that, as a female, her offspring's family trees would never look quite the same as her own anyway.
