Melismor Dragons are social, good-natured dragons that enjoy the shelter of forested areas. They live in close-knit family groups, burrowing deep into the earth and creating extensive, winding networks of underground burrows. While rarely seen at the surface, Melismor Dragons, when encountered, are known to be fiercely loyal and protective, yet kind when their families aren’t in any danger. These dragons are omnivorous, but most of their diet consists of plants, especially tender roots, and honey is a favored treat they’ll often bring back to their burrows to share.

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.

What started as a support group for non-zyumorph children of sinomorph and zyumorph parents soon grew into a team of would-be heroes. The members never stop arguing, nobody can agree on a name, and the "villains" they face are all largely playacting, but the group still strives to make its mark on the world. Genverem, who prefers a quiet life, is happy to take on tasks the other heroes don't want to handle. With the help of Gyenh, his mate, he keeps the lair tidy and prepares meals. His hero work consists of showing up after the threat has been defeated to fix whatever damage was done.
