Heartseeker Dragons are very social creatures that emanate a sweet chocolatey scent. Their captivating perfume easily attracts adult dragons that don’t yet have a mate. Heartseekers use their keen sense of smell to detect solitary dragons and potential mates in the area. By rubbing their fins against objects such as trees and rocks, they leave a scent trail for the other dragons to follow to meet each other. Although these dragons are seen year-round, the scent of a Heartseeker becomes particularly potent during the middle of winter. During this time, a single Heartseeker may play matchmaker to dozens of dragons, but he will also choose a special mate of his own.

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.

Xantharone smiled in satisfaction as two young dragons met on the seashore: a sunset and an electric. He heard their thoughts as they realized the interests they have in common, and he glided quietly away. He can see inside the minds and futures of other dragons to see who they should spend their life with. He sighed under the burden of knowledge and responsibility, knowing a mate would never understand what he does, but then smiled again at the joy he guides couples to. He riffled through his memories, of many matches made through the years: ridgewing and dorsal, vine and black, skywing and deep sea; all carefully allured to the right place and time and circumstances so they could find love in each other. None of them know of his influence, but he is satisfied with his work nonetheless and seeks no recognition. Of all the dragons, only he knows his own name, and he only knows his own name.
