Alcedine Wyverns are large, colorful dragons found all over Galsreim. They are highly active and become bored and fidgety with nothing to do, so much of their time is spent travelling. Alcedines are quite speedy on the wing and rarely bother to land until they reach their destination. Because of their speed and navigation skill, Alcedines are sometimes sought by humans looking to have items or letters delivered to faraway locales. Many Alcedines will take them up on it for the right price, and it is not uncommon for Alcedines to have a small hoard of jewellery in their dens or rings on their horns.

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.

Pink likes gumdrops, crockery, and beluga whales. Those are her three favorite things, though only the candy is appropriate compensation for a job—nobody has tried paying her in beluga whales, and she turns down crockery because she can't take those with her when she moves on. She grew up in a rookery with an eclectic mix of dragon types where nearly everyone was named a basic descriptor of their breed or an obvious trait or two. Therefore, she's Pink. She had many peers and a couple of caretakers who enjoyed arguing semantics, and they would have discussions, sometimes very lively and sometimes very dull, about which definitions and uses of terms were the first or the correctest. Every time she thinks about her favorite things or encounters one of the things, she recalls that the rookery members never settled on whether you could have more than one favorite thing or if "favorite" meant it had to be one thing above all else.
