Heartseeker Dragons are very social creatures that emanate a sweet chocolatey scent. Their captivating perfume easily attracts adult dragons that don’t yet have a mate. Heartseekers use their keen sense of smell to detect solitary dragons and potential mates in the area. By rubbing their fins against objects such as trees and rocks, they leave a scent trail for the other dragons to follow to meet each other. Although these dragons are seen year-round, the scent of a Heartseeker becomes particularly potent during the middle of winter. During this time, a single Heartseeker may play matchmaker to dozens of dragons, but he will also choose a special mate of his own.

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.

One of the 'Heartseekers' that make the JavaTiger Clan their home, Justedans... or Just for short... is considered to be a great expert on matters of romance. In addition to actively matchmaking... though he hasn't the skill that Senteurini and his two apprentices have... as most of his kin do, Just often aids the cause of true love by giving advice to those dragons that come to him seeking it. Most such questions, of course, deal with how to best impress whomever has caught their eye. What gift would be appropriate for a prospective mate, how best to set a romantic mood for that prospective mate; all of these are questions which Just must answer on a regular basis. Fortunately, he is knowledgeable about the courtship practices of many of the clan's dragon breeds. What works for impressing one decidedly might NOT for another. This is a task that takes considerable cunning at times, and it is fortunate that Just is a clever sort. Love, he says, often delights in breaking the rules.
