Skywing Dragons spend most of their lives flying in the air. They hunt from the air, diving at prey from above, and land only to rest. They are some of the fastest fliers, capable of extremely high speeds. The webbing at the end of the tail acts as a rudder, allowing them to easily change direction during flight.

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.

Cryl-Nish Hlar, more commonly known as Nish, was an artificer of average skill at the manufactory near Tiksi in the later years of the Lyrinx War. He was also a prober for a short time. He has a strange clearsight ability given to him by the Profane Tears. <br/>Nish became a close friend and confidant of Scrutator Xervish Flydd and during his journeys with him, became something of a war hero. He played an important role in many of the later battles of the war and aided in helping the lyrinx to escape to Tallallame, after humanities victory.
