Sweetlings are a small, flightless breed of dragon. They are omnivores who favor sweet fruits and honey, and have been known to go to great lengths to obtain their favorite treats. Their long, prehensile tails allow them to grab onto branches and give them superior balance. Sweetlings are expressive dragons and have a large array of calls to communicate with others. They become very vocal during breeding season and sing long, beautiful melodies to attract a mate. Inquisitive in nature, Sweetlings are known to investigate anything that piques their interest, and are quick to flee if the object of their curiosity strikes back.

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.

To the dismay of many dragons, a group of unpopular Sweetlings (called the "Gang Of Peculiars" by their clanmates, or GOP) became even more concerning after they organized a public campaign to take over leadership of the clan. As one of these candidates, Enthrall is best known as the dragon who was once in charge of watching over a small cluster of lakeside nests... until a great flood wiped out many of the nests he guarded. Most dragons believe that he did a horrible job handling the disaster because he never stepped in to personally help clean up. Nevertheless, he brings it up at every possible opportunity as an excuse to gloat about himself and his excellent management skills, as if he won't recognize his mistakes.
