Seasonal Dragons take on the characteristics of the season during which they are born. Thus, eggs that are laid in spring match the pink flowers and green buds of spring, and those that are laid in the summer grow to depict the bright green of the forest trees and the yellow of the sun. Eggs laid in autumn display the bright colors of leaves falling from trees, and those that are laid during winter take on the appearance of the icy snow.

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.

Haida Tundra, the winter dragon, is always remembered because of her artistic ability. Instead of creating more tasteful art, as her mother puts it, Haida Tundra is an expert in tribal tattooing. Having tattooed several hundred dragons in her lifetime, Haida Tundra could be called an expert in her field. Though people prefer her bizarre patterns of animals and plants, there is nothing she likes to do more than to just create a random pattern full of curving lines and intersecting shapes.
