Coastal Waverunners spend most of their time skimming the waves along the coast, snatching up their prey from the shallow waters. They have developed markings along the leading edges of their body that help disguise them as breaking waves. When they are not hunting, they enjoy playing among sand-dunes and shallow tide-pools. These dragons live in small but noisy rookeries. Some stories say Waverunners can fly for days on end without landing.

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.

Argentum is Aurum's loyal sister.  While she maintains a similar schedule sometimes she like to do things on her own.  She has been known to sneak off to be with her lover Honestem. While he can seem to be strict and hard to socialize with at first, he is actually very fun and frequently plays with the hatchlings, teaching them important lessons, talking to them one on one.  Argentum sees him as an amazing father and dreams of them having eggs together someday, a day she hopes will be soon.
