Among the most elusive of dragon breeds are the Aeon Wyverns, a breed whose innate control over time mana marks them singular and great. They are able to peer into the multi-dimensional plane of time, seeing all that is, all that has been, and all that could be—within a small localized zone. When utilizing particularly strong magic, the black markings carved into an Aeon’s body glow a bright cyan, painting them in an ethereal blue light. In the past, they have been sought after as oracles to bring swift resolutions to major conflicts, but it is in exactly such sorts of times that they are nowhere to be found; rather than influence the outcome, Aeons much prefer to allow the natural order of things to progress, however grim that may be.

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.

Vortex is a very strange-mannered Aeon, being infuriatingly cryptic at times and quite straightforward at others. She is fascinated with the idea of time loops and paradoxes due to her kind's ability to see the entirety of the local time-stream; watching the inner workings of time itself is little more than an interesting hobby to her.

However, this only applies to watching those aspects of time.

Vortex is enamored with the idea of being able to influence past, present, and future all at once and so experiments with her magic in order to influence past events. She has taken a particular interest in the Neglected dragon Treborn due to her tales of time travel, but it is unknown whether this interest is to further her own agenda or if she may have been responsible: if anybody wishes to ask, Vortex suddenly becomes scarce and solitary. During these times, she can usually be found holed up in a cave somewhere, dabbling with magic and ignoring all outside stimuli until she's done.
