Perhaps among the most venerated of dragon breeds is the Zyumorph, a breed whose selfless heroism and strong moral compass are nearly unparalleled by other dragons. Zyumorphs have an innate urge to fend off wrongdoing, and as such, are often sought after in times of peril. Although they are independently quite capable fighters, it is said that their true might is not unlocked until all six Zyumorphs are brought together in times of great duress.

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.

Long before Toba was born to the Cloudtouched Thicket, Tenderheart had raised a hatchling named Atlas. He was an odd hatchling, one who claimed to be "missing pieces," and that Tenderheart would eventually find these pieces. Before Toba had hatched, Tenderheart had dismissed these claims as unfortunate mental instability due to the trauma of abandonment.

How wrong she had been. True to Atlas's word, a strange black egg found its way to the Thicket and hatched into a small red hatchling, yearning for a parental figure who had perished long ago. Despite her concern, Tenderheart followed the instructions provided to her by Atlas. She raised the female into a beautiful crimson dragon...

And then sent Toba on her way.

Toba had always felt a pull guiding her to the North, but couldn't put her claw on why until Tenderheart told her that someone was waiting for her. She realized- this pull would guide her back to her missing pieces.

Her magic sparked, and she took off into the cloudy sky.
