Aria dragons are a brightly-colored and sprightly breed, perhaps most adored for their lyric calls. Their song-like melodies fill the areas they inhabit; their coos resemble those of birds, only more elegant and refined. They have fairly strong magical capabilities, but tend to reserve these strengths for last-minute defense, choosing to live their lives in simple peace. Arias, sticking to the tropics, typically live quite far from human settlements, giving rise to the previously held belief that they had gone extinct.

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.

Sydni is the alpha female and eldest dragon of her clan. She is the last of her kind among her clan, but this does not phase her. As Alpha, it is her duty to oversee the other female dragons, keep them in line, and to protect any eggs or hatchlings that are present. Sydni is responsible for seeing nearly all of the dragons of her clan into adulthood. She is proud, adamant, and strong. Her personality and age make her a powerful dragon who is not challenged often.
