Shimmer-scale Dragons are a very beautiful breed with small—but highly reflective—scales that shimmer and shine as the dragon moves through water. They don’t have fins or webbed feet, but their long, eel-like bodies allow them to swim quite fast. They were once rumored to carry large pearls in their claws—causing many to seek them out in search of this fabulous treasure. In reality, the “pearl” is of greater value to the dragon, for the fabled treasure is actually an egg carried by a migrating female.

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.

Shimmer of Mysfytt is a very playful dragon, oblivious of her own beauty when swimming in the waters. She shares a strong bond with the scroll-bearer ever since she was a little hatchling. He once told the dragon a story of how he got her as an egg. Long ago, in one of his adventures in the coasts of Valkemare, a mysterious, beautiful lady stood near the shores. When he approached her, she started to tell stories of a shimmer with scales that resemble the waters themselves while writing the name "Mysfytt" on the sand between the two humans. The woman then presented a shiny egg to him. After the scroll-bearer took the egg, the mysterious person walked away. He has not seen her since then. Now, the dragon wanders throughout the coasts of Valkemare, as both the dragon and the human hope that one day, not only may they meet the lady again, but also the dragon's parents, and find out what the name "Mysfytt" means.
