Nhiostrife Wyverns are one of the few known breeds of wyvern with more than one set of wings. Because of their four wings, Nhiostrifes are very nimble in the air and control their movements with ease. When it’s mating season, males put on a very beautiful and unique air dance in an attempt to charm a female. The amount of stripes on their wings vary, with more stripes being more attractive, although most have only two to four. Their general attitude is very passive and curious—they only fight if they or their families are in danger.

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.

For a long time Blind felt lost among the dragons of the clan. He simply felt like he couldn't fit in. There were other Nhios, like his own father, and they apparently had no problems. Maybe it had more to do with his mother, who spent so much time walking between planes that she oftentimes forgot which kind of behaviour was appropriate for Valkemar.

When Blind met Stryfe he found the young dragoness nice enough. Then she introduced him to a rather isolated community of Nhios living in a desert valley on the lands of the clan and cemented her place in his heart. In that remote valley no one cared if he always ate with his head turned north, or if he cursed and ranted at the small, blue moon (which was perfectly normal behaviour in some of the places his mother visited). Blind has settled down with these dragons and accepts their quirks and flaws as they accept his and he always looks forward to Stryfe's visits.
