Avea Pygmies are extremely active dragons known for their aptitude for flight. They will often fly for long distances and are in a constant state of migration. Avea Pygmies live in large groups for protection and they will care for each others’ young. They are herbivores and especially like fruits and berries. When dealing with other species, Avea pygmies are short-tempered and quickly take offense. After one has offended an Avea, gifts and bribes are the best way to regain trust.

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.

Pygmy dragons are the smallest category of dragons, being on the same scale as domesticated animals. They are often found around concentrated populations of dragons, relying on their larger brethren to ward away potential predators and leave scraps. As such, the majority of a pygmy’s diet is scavenged. Due to their tiny size, pygmies do not breed with larger varieties of dragons.

Audra is a member of a very powerful, secret family of researchers known simply as the Avis. They are a mixed family made up of many different breeds, so, being an Avea Pygmy, Audra has quite a lot of anxieties living with them all. These anxieties manifest themselves in his sarcastic, mischievous personality. Audra is extremely intelligent and adores messing with his family's heads. Talking to him is an absolute nightmare, since he has an affinity for lying and trickery. This isn't helped by his line of research. Despite his almost angelic appearance, Audra is the family's leading researcher on dark and demonic power. He knows everything there is to know about black magic, demonic presences, and the underworld itself. For these reasons, Audra is all but shunned by his family. He hides his sadness over this behind a visage of confidence and deception, but, in truth, he is deeply scarred by this neglect. Though he never shows it, he's hurt by all the sharp glares and harsh insults.
