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.

Kirike is a considerate dragon who has befriended every dragon that her owner has, except for one moody dragon that is capable of controlling the weather. She is of high rank in the dragon world and is an inspirational figure for hatchlings seeking a role model. Unlike the norm for outstanding dragons, Kirike isn't sappy and vague about philosophical values and goals. Kirike is unique and exceptional.
