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.

Despite being a summer dragon, Vedet is not exactly fond of hot, sunny days. When the temperatures climb, she hides at the back of a cave where it's nice and cool.

Her place of birth is partly to blame for this. Vedet's egg was taken by traders to a rainy island off the northern coast of Galsreim, where the temperature was mild all year round. It was bought by a clan trader who lived there, and Vedet spent nearly two centuries living in the ever-expanding trade compound in Kidneypull. She therefore associates summers with mild temperatures, frequent cloud cover, and cool, refreshing rain.

Moving south to the main clan territory to find a mate was, therefore, a shock to Vedet, and even centuries later she hasn't quite adjusted to the differences in the two climates.

If someone does manage to coax her outside on a sunny day, she'll usually head straight for the nearest lake, where she'll wade into the shallows, spread her wings, and just lie down and relax in the water.
