Nhiostrife Wyverns are one of the few known breeds of wyvern with more than one set of wings. Because of their four wings, Nhiostrifes are very nimble in the air and control their movements with ease. When it’s mating season, males put on a very beautiful and unique air dance in an attempt to charm a female. The amount of stripes on their wings vary, with more stripes being more attractive, although most have only two to four. Their general attitude is very passive and curious—they only fight if they or their families are in danger.

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.

Ever since Eachdraidh first set eyes on the Highlands of Alba, her mountainous home, she had a desire to know the history of these rocks, the stories and tragedies of their clans, and the battles for territories. She will fly far and wide, approaching humans and dragons alike to tell her their tales, share their songs and recite their poems. When she's not out gathering stories, Eachdraidh will sit at home with the young hatchlings, repeating one tale to them every night. When they are dreaming sweetly, she will curl up to her loving mate Eanchainn, another Nhiostrife with scholarly ambitions.
