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.

Hemimorphius ChillGaze (after the gemstone: Hemimorphite) joined the clan cave as the 47th member at the height of the winter season. Beyond the ice blue coloration of his scales with deep, sapphire edging, by far the most chilling feature is contained within his calm, knowing eyes. It is believed throughout the clan cave that his gaze is capable of captivating any he looks upon, and more than a few dragons have lost days of time mesmerized within those enchanting eyes. It is as if his stare transforms and transfixes, the wintery wind and snow seeming to glide from him into those who seek his council. During the spring and summer seasons, he tends to remain inside the deep recesses of the stone heart of the world. The Clan Mother wonders worriedly whether or not any dragon will ever be able to warm his tender heart to love, a sentiment the clan elders do not seem to share, believing instead in the truth that spring always follows winter, and so too, will his heart to the right mate.
