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.

Fallpattern's father is a traveler who spends his days exploring the world, and he's always said that despite how much he's seen, one of the most beautiful things he's witnessed is the color of autumn leaves. Being jungle creatures they don't often get to witness this miracle themselves, but Fallpattern likes to travel to northerly regions every autumn until the cold chases him back into the tropics. With a nasty mother and sharing the same love for adventuring as his father, Fallpattern often departs on lone journeys across the lands. He prefers to fly solo and also doesn't like to rely on others' help (such as riding on human boats), but enjoys exploring the world in the most natural way. He has a habit of disappearing for months over the horizon and suddenly return with new stories to share with friends.
