Water Walkers are small dragons that are frequently found around bogs and ponds. While they are flightless, they retain the flight sacs and hollow bones of their airborne cousins. These traits, coupled with their extraordinarily long, webbed toes, allow them to stand on top of calm waters, using their small sails to propel them wherever they please. They spend the majority of their lives on the water, retreating to the tops of lily pads when the waters become too rough to float atop.

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.

Beast. A name she had called him. A name he accepted reluctantly. The first time they met, Daisy had been so naive and young. She hastily ran into their union without thinking of the consequences that would happen if she wanted 'out'. Not much later, she gave birth to their daughter. It was the final straw. Beast remembers that day painfully specific. She had thrown away their child. Like a piece of carrion. Then she had went on and on about how it was his fault they had made such a revolting thing. Currently, he hates her, the female he had spent so long swooning and trying to reconcile with. Now he relished in the painful memories. If only Roze, their now grown daughter, could contemplate how agonizing each day is having to see Roze's mother. Especially when she is with her new mate.
