Aria dragons are a brightly-colored and sprightly breed, perhaps most adored for their lyric calls. Their song-like melodies fill the areas they inhabit; their coos resemble those of birds, only more elegant and refined. They have fairly strong magical capabilities, but tend to reserve these strengths for last-minute defense, choosing to live their lives in simple peace. Arias, sticking to the tropics, typically live quite far from human settlements, giving rise to the previously held belief that they had gone extinct.

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.

Memento of Passion is a longtime description writer for the local humans and some of his kin, but that doesn't mean he's perfect. In his opinion, the longer he makes a sentence and the more punctuation marks he uses, the smarter he sounds, and while his prose has no grammatical errors, along with the sentence length, the over-presence, or abundance, of commas, punctuation marks that normally indicate pause, to some readers, can, unsurprisingly, be easily misunderstood, and the way sentences continue, like a labyrinth on paper, might make said readers, if they haven't already, toss the manuscript at the ground, as well as cause Perennial Sourpuss, one of the journalists for the humans, to want to tear his horns out, a sight that the less grammatically astute clan members, the white and celestials excluded, would be highly amused, if a little disgusted, to witness, though they would blame his crankiness on Memento, namely his refusal to change his ways, rather than on Perennial Sourpuss.
