Ice Dragons are fierce predators who hunt using their extremely cold breath. The breath of an ice dragon can freeze its prey solid in seconds. The body of an ice dragon is so cold that icicles will form along its skin no matter the outside temperature.

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.

"Music itself has become a constant companion to me, as it affords my ever exploring mind new lands to see. Because music is not just sounds, it is images and emotion, it is all that can ever be, and all that ever has."

Isiclya has discovered from years of living secluded in a sheltered ice cavern that icicles create beautiful, haunting chimes when struck with ones tailfin. But what started as an odd way of passing time has become an incredibly intricate array that has been meticulously choreographed. The result is a strange unearthly melody, akin to a ghostly choir singing from beyond the veil. The only ones who ever hear her concerts are lost travelers who have decided to rest in the entrance to her lair, and many run upon hearing the music. But there are those that stay, entranced by their strange beauty. Yet even they come and leave without Isiclya's knowledge -- she plays her music so she can leave her lonely cave in her mind, riding on the back of a thousand soaring chimes.
