Rift Wyrms are dragons adapted to both the frigid depths of the sea and the void that exists in the space between spaces. They have the ability to rip holes in the fabric of space that lead into and out of the void, and can manipulate the size and location of these rifts with additional effort. Their bodies give off an unsettling chill, while their mouths tend to glow from the mana they’ve consumed. Between their appearance and their method of travel, Rift Wyrms have a reputation as eldritch creatures that do not belong in this world. They tend to have a mischievous streak facilitated by their abilities. This ranges by individual from harmless japery to active malevolence, and many people and dragons are wary of them. Despite their reputation as tricksters, these wyrms are curious and may choose to help others on a whim just as often as they decide to harm.

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 Edmyn the Unprepared Memorial Item Library has a variety of ways of preventing lost items. Usually, the obnoxious enchantments are enough, but for more difficult cases, Tregarath employs three rift dragons. Gefve is the first warning and the most forgiving. There are legitimate reasons why an adventuring party might be late getting back, and as long as they're clearly incapacitated or making an effort to complete their mission, he'll gladly grant them an extension for a small fee. Gefve will even, if feeling particularly generous, lend some small amount of aid. He can afford to be nice, after all. He's just the first of three.
