On sunny days when the sea is clear and sparkling, coastal villages are often treated to a spectacular sight. While normally shy, Tideweaver Lindwyrms are emboldened by fair weather, and when one starts to dance, the rest soon follow. However, their intricate fins and complex dances are more than just a dazzling show. Tideweavers rely on slight changes in their movements and fin positions to communicate with others of their kind. This communication is key; the lindwyrms are almost always found traveling within tightly bonded family groups. To show affection, they have been known to gently hold one another with their small front legs.

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.

Harpean the Red-finned Tidal Dragon is an absent-minded, eccentric dragon who finds art in everything. He enjoys weaving kelp around his many spines and fins and then stringing shells and pretty rocks on it, boring holes in the objects with his teeth. He spends about a quarter of his time in the shallow water, bathing in the sun. The rest of the time he spends with his hatch-mate and life-mate, Aequoran, in the deep ocean. He's usually the first to come up and greet their other hatch-mate, Orexii, when he comes to the ocean to visit.
