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.

Song Master Sibelius Lovefool is a calm, kindly sort of dragon, and just what his title suggests—an avid musician to the very core. Since he was a hatchling, Sibelius was fascinated by human music; he knew that he could sing, but he was impressed by the variety of objects that humans could make sing for them. Working with the Group's scholars, Sibelius did his best to learn as much about music as he could, and can now compose for a wide variety of instruments (by dictating to a human with a pair of hands, of course), but specializes in vocal music. He especially enjoys experimenting with his vocal pieces, creating strange songs that combine human and dragon voices into songs that are either eerily beautiful or inadvertently cacophonous—after all, not all experiments go as planned. Sibelius is currently trying to see if draconic singing can be given lyrics via telepathy, or if telepathic singing exists. Of course, he still enjoys writing a simple Sweetling love song once in a while.
