Astralophyne Dragons are talented magic users in many aspects, their most prominent area of expertise being that of supportive magic. In addition to normal healing powers, these dragons can tap into the energies of the soular plane using a circular glyph for especially powerful healing and strengthening magics. When the glyph is summoned, their tail tips and wings flair out, and their fur billows and bristles from the ambient energy as if a gust is blowing around them. This exceptional power takes much time and effort to learn, training beginning from a young age and mastery considered to be a mark of true adulthood. They are scholars at heart, ever eager in the study of the arcane and medicinal. In part due to this, Astralophynes can be found in varying professions; some settle down to raise medicinal herbs and insects, some teach their knowledge, and some travel around in further study of magic, occasionally healing those they come across. Some especially brave have been known to join other valiant dragons, supporting them in battles against great threats.

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.

Located at the edge of civilized Galsreim and led by three blue zyumorphs, the Scourgekeeper Redemption Squad is dedicated to solving the scourgekeeper problem one redemption at a time. Hykenit once studied dreamwalking as a form of healing the mind, but finally decided the potential dangers were too great. Talking about dreams proved far safer than trying to enter them.
