With their iridescent wings and sleek gray bodies, Iridichi Dragons are an enchanting sight to behold in the decaying autumnal world. Coming across an Iridichi, or having one approach you, can either be a blessing or a curse; rumor has it, Iridichi Dragons are messengers and anchors for the dead. Their disconcerting white eyes always seem to connect to the spiritual world, and the intimacy of life and death during autumn compels them to seek the deceased. Superstitious folks claim that the magical effects of their wings allow the dead to be seen as well as heard. As a result, travelers seek out Iridichi Dragons during their most active season, claiming they act as a bridge between the living and the dead. Iridichi Dragons have allegedly facilitated hauntings and offered consolation for those departed with unfinished business when a simple message will not suffice.

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.

Valefore is a very shy and tepid creature that tries to avoid direct contact with others. He has an innate fear of mortal dragons, having see them do terrible things to creatures like himself, so he hides from them. He's a genuinely clever beast and prolifically intelligent. He is, however, completely mute. To the select few he does trust, he communicates in a form of sign language that utilizes all six of his flexible wings. Only his sister, Bael, has the intricate language fully translated, and she isn't all too willing to share. Valefore and his sister are very close, even though their personalities are completely opposed. Valefore fears for his sister and her villainous antics. While he hides from mortals, Bael persistently torments them for her own amusement. The two can occasionally get into heated arguments (heated arguments Bael usually wins), but they are honest with each other and wouldn't hesitate to defend the other if worst came to worst.
