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.

Much to his dismay, this dragon only recently found out his true identity. As an egg, a kind-hearted horse dragon took him into her loving care and continued on to raise him through his hatchling-hood. He one day overheard his adoptive mother speaking to her other horse dragon friends about him, saying how she hopes one day he can finally learn he is in fact a bronze tinsel. Duke Freddie Eynsford-Hill Shine has not yet informed his mother of his new knowledge but is learning to accept himself for who he really is. No wonder he could never neigh like his horse dragon friends!
