Pink Dragons are primarily herbivores and only eat meat during the mating season, when mates will exchange kills. When it is not breeding season, pink dragons spend most of their time incubating eggs and caring for their clan’s young. Due to their feminine color, it was traditionally thought that pink dragons were a strictly female breed, but this is not true.

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.

Sernar is the son and fourth child of Cerenor, renowned lieutenant of his cave's Guardian dragons, and Naeri, sociable wife. Sernar enjoys a happy marriage to Sayoren, daughter of Senenar and Salyan. He and his wife represent the 'common' of culture in a manner almost mirroring human youth; they are sociable, talkative to a properly annoying degree, enjoy being the center of attention, and rarely say anything worth listening to. Not that they aren't listened to; indeed, such a feat would be nigh impossible.

The pair are distanced from their more practical and hardworking parents, but find many friends in the dragons who attend evening bonfires, a long social tradition in their home. They pass their immortal days with relatively little labor, sunning themselves on rocks and avoiding responsibility. But due to their position as being the friend of everyone and so active socially, nobody seems to notice.
