Water Walkers are small dragons that are frequently found around bogs and ponds. While they are flightless, they retain the flight sacs and hollow bones of their airborne cousins. These traits, coupled with their extraordinarily long, webbed toes, allow them to stand on top of calm waters, using their small sails to propel them wherever they please. They spend the majority of their lives on the water, retreating to the tops of lily pads when the waters become too rough to float atop.

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.

Lily is a wandering dragon, with a soul as free as the wind. She hatched on a cold, wintry lake, far north, farther than her species likes to go. A human child found Lily's egg and sheltered it until she hatched. Rather than go south, she grew accustomed to the cold, and began to love it. She has had many mates in her lifetime, most of which brag about it. She visits humans and dragons alike, and has become the legend of her hometown.
