Sunstone Dragons are named after the orb on their tails, which resembles the gem of the same name. Their social structure resembles a lion pride, with one dominant male and several females banded together with their young. They prefer arid climates where they can blend in and dig for minerals and gemstones that they not only collect, but eat. The more gems they consume, the larger their tail stone grows. They are an aggressive breed; it is not uncommon to see two males battling for mates and territory.

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.

Lacoona is never in the background. A warrior in body and soul, Lacoona never backs away from any challenge. Her cunning and strength make her a battle ready machine; constantly preparing or recovering from a fight. Lacoona has no mate of the moment, losing her last one to a rare disease. Lacoona is still very young, however, so discovering a new mate is never the first thing on her mind when she wakes up in the morning.
