Striped Dragons come in a dazzling array of colors complemented by an intricate pattern of stripes. These bright colors and patterns help attract their favorite food, insects. Because their prey is so tiny, striped dragons must spend a large portion of their day eating. The color of the offspring is usually determined by the dragon’s mate.

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.

Adar Ninniach or Father of the Rainbow chose his own name, and wants to live up to it. As a hatchling, he heard the stories about Naneth Ninniach who was foretold to become the mother of many different colors of dragons. Adar hoped to become the father of those dragons, but when Naneth refused him, the two of them became rivals in their race to complete their rainbow offspring.
