Wisteria Dragons are gentle, forest-dwelling dragons named for the wisteria that they weave into their fur. The flowers grow lusher and more beautiful as a result of the proximity to the dragon’s life mana, and in turn become a source of pride and honor for each Wisteria Dragon. Each dragon’s specific arrangement of flowers is unique, and it is uncommon for more than one Wisteria Dragon to ever be recorded in the same section of a forest. Despite their solitary nature, many have said that setting out a small offering of flowers by the edge of a forest on a sunny day is enough to cause these dragons to appear—although most see only a blur of bright purple flitting between the trees. Even such brief sightings are thought to bring health and longevity to a lucky observer.

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.

In the lands bordering Yubi's forest, there are several neighboring kingdoms, all of which whisper the same legend about the Wisteria Dragon who lives deep in the woods. It is said that anyone can bring an offering of flowers to entreat her for a boon, but only if the longevity they seek is not for solely their own benefit, and their life will be shared with others. Throughout the decades, Yubi has blessed newlyweds, knighted comrades-in-arms, artisan masters, tavern barkeepers, and the occasional elderly grandmother who cares for the local stray cats. It has become somewhat of a tradition for those who have encountered Yubi to make a yearly pilgrimage to her forest, and tell her stories of what has transpired since the last time they visited. Yubi finds that this is reward enough for her blessings, especially since her magic never lingers for more than a few days, and it's nowhere near as powerful as a seeker's desire to live for someone else.
