Canopy Dragons love to soar above the tropical jungles and other densely forested areas. Their billowing, layered wings create generous lift that allows them to ascend effortlessly over the warm jungle. While their unique wings do not make them the fastest flyers, they are champion gliders. To further this end, dexterity, maneuverability, and grace are all judged by the females when selecting their mates from the males that can accurately complete the exhausting and elaborate courtship dance between the close growing branches of the upper canopy.

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.

When Sekene was a hatchling, before he grew wings, he would gaze up in envy at all the dragons flying around, from the mighty thunder dragons to the fast gray dragons.  As a young hatchling Sekene visited the clan medics for treatment quite often, due to the number of falling injuries he accumulated while jumping and pretending he could fly, which he later admits was extremely stupid, although worth it, even if for only a few seconds.  Eventually Sekene grew bright, beautiful wings and began to hang out with the Neotropical dragons Emeraldan and Breland, both as graceful on land and in the air as he was.  As he was winning in a flying contest between the three of them one day a beautiful Ridgewing dragon caught his eye, he was so distracted he lost the race as the other two sped past.  Afterward Sekene landed and learned the Ridgewing's name was Arrowen, she saw him flying and was quite impressed, the two began to talk very often afterwards and became best friends, and later on, mates.
