This breed of dragon was thought to exist only in legend. Although their name varies between cultures, they are often referred to as “Guardians of Nature.” They are able to channel the forces of fire, ice and lightning, which allows them to wield tremendous power. Seen very rarely, it is thought that they only become active when something is threatening the territory they have chosen to guard. In order to protect their chosen home, these dragons are incredibly adaptable; they have been seen everywhere from remote mountain ranges, to ancient forests, to the darkest depths of the ocean.

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.

The Lifeblood of the Planet courses through Aerith's veins. Able to sense suffering and turmoil nearby, she renders aide where able. The downside however, is if she cannot save those who are in danger it takes a heavy toll on her and she mourns for days, sometimes even weeks after.

As a result, she chooses to remain secluded in thick forests, jungles, or deep in the heart of the harshest terrains. any who brave the elements and stumble upon her dwelling will be granted with a friendly greeting and an offering of friendship.
