Terrae Dragons are primarily herbivores who prefer to eat from the tops of trees. However, due to their massive size, they must rely on small, specialized scales to absorb and convert energy from the sun. Since they live in tightly-knit groups, this form of energy absorption helps preserve the forests in which these dragons reside.

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.

Solum is one of the Omega males of the clan and is usually good for a laugh. He is always coming up with jokes and can always bring a smile to the gloomiest of faces. Most of the other clan members don't know this about him, but his jolly demeanor is just a facade. Behind the thin veneer, he is a cold and bitter dragon, who is futilely seeking revenge for his entire family's death. They were all killed in a raid from Quator's band of rogues. The rest of the clan saw what had happened, and offered him a slightly nicer den and increased rations. Then they all forgot about it. Solum was crushed. He had lost everything, and all he got was a rushed "I'm so sorry" and some food.  He became angry and bitter and began working on a plot to assassinate the current Alpha's entire family, to show them how it felt to lose everything and have nobody care.
