Seasonal Dragons take on the characteristics of the season during which they are born. Thus, eggs that are laid in spring match the pink flowers and green buds of spring, and those that are laid in the summer grow to depict the bright green of the forest trees and the yellow of the sun. Eggs laid in autumn display the bright colors of leaves falling from trees, and those that are laid during winter take on the appearance of the icy snow.

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.

A calm, common dragon, Lurel spends much of his time helping others and bathing in the sun. His owner promised that if he only went on a few more adventures, she could write him a really lovely description on her scroll, but Lurel declined. He'd seen the trauma and depression riddled accounts of the other poor creatures who had accepted her offer of adventures, and was quite content to continue his normal life at the sacrifice of an exciting paragraph.
