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.

A gentle and soft-spoken creature with a passion for history, this creature has taken it upon himself to memorize and organize all the local lineage records. Delving deep into old libraries and using powerful magic to seek out lost ancestors, he knows more about most of the residents' family lines than they do themselves! Fittingly, however, most people know the amphiptere better for his own lineage than for his work. Curious passerby inquire if he is, perhaps, related to the heroic Sunsong of legend who defeated the dread golden dragon Asis. His eyes brighten at the question, head perking up as he affirms that, yes, he is the grandchild of the very same--and has the records to prove it. When not sorting through musty tomes or spending time with his beloved family, he enjoys relaxing in the sunlight, hoping the noble line of his forefathers will continue on for centuries more.
