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.

Rendicato is Alvadica's best friend and beloved sweets master of the Cave. He positively adores his job, as it not only means a lot of dragons lining up to offer him curios and other strange items to investigate, but it also means that he has access to all the honey he could possibly ask for. Of course, he's not greedy enough to keep the sweets to himself- in fact, whenever hatchlings are about, it's not at all uncommon to see him slipping them a few honey combs or village pastries.
