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.

Vanity, thy name is Tempus Vernum! Tem is extremely conceited, preferring to sit and polish her scales instead of flying or other types of exercise. In fact, she spends almost all time not sleeping or eating trying to improve her looks. Her petite frame is well suited to curling up on the most luxurious of satin and silk cushions, and she will never allow anyone else to get near them for fear of her resting spots being contaminated. Tempus regards all other living beings as her personal attendants, which greatly annoys most everyone around her. It is still a great mystery to her that she does not have many friends.
