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.

To the west of Graystone Castle are many rocky hills, where rare flowers grow that are as fragrant as they are beautiful. In springtime, many young knights go there to look for the perfect flower to present their lady. On such an occasion, a handsome knight found not only a rare flower but also a bright pink dragon egg. He thought of his friend Verro, who raised the dragon named Je'lan, but the knight was much to afraid of dragons to raise one himself. So he left it in the castle Graystone garden for the dragon Lyneue to find and she did. The hatchling was as bright as the egg and she was named Mirella Gray. She is as playful and gentle as Lyneue. The two dragons are often seen in the garden playing.
