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.

Lishin is a sweet seasonal dragoness, one of the favourites of Inok. She loves to talk with her owner, or fly with her bold mate, Schnepscybilie. When she was a hatchling she was the best friend of a melancholic guardian dragon, that Inok calls Lishin's Shield. When she mates with his loved Schnepscybilie, the friendship with the jealous Shield broked up. Now, in the evening, when all the dragons stay in Inok's cave, or in the little lake near it, the two are in the opposite corners of their home. Depite this trouble, Lsihin is very friendly, especially with her companion, her human friend, and Kunion, the cunning frilled dragon of the cave. She enjoys playing with the snow, and she hates summertime. In spite of this, sometimes Lishin is very solemn, beautiful like the falling snow.
