Venturis Dragons are a peaceful breed that reside in cooler regions toward the bases of mountains where they can raise their young without the threat of predators drawing too close. They are known for their ability to sense distress, and use telepathy—coupled with a strong sense of empathy—to solve disputes. It is commonly believed that interacting with a Venturis dragon will bring a future of good fortune. They are also known as Heralds of Tranquility in olden lore. Despite their seemingly elusive nature, Venturis Dragons have often been spotted near villages torn apart by war and destruction.

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.

Zaisan happens to be good friends with a guild of human playwrights and storytellers, whom he visits every now and then to hear the latest news about the surrounding kingdoms. Often, he will be asked to provide consulting advice when one of his author friends is beginning a new tale involving dragons, because of course the stories are more believable if the intricacies of dragon society and romances are accurately described! Zaisan is always happy to assist as it usually means he is gifted a written copy of the final script before even the guild bards get to see it. This fact makes him rather popular with his female dragon friends, especially when the stories have multiple parts and everyone is eagerly awaiting the next part of the tale.
