Terrae Dragons are primarily herbivores who prefer to eat from the tops of trees. However, due to their massive size, they must rely on small, specialized scales to absorb and convert energy from the sun. Since they live in tightly-knit groups, this form of energy absorption helps preserve the forests in which these dragons reside.

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.

Meadow Forrest, much like her husband, Moss, loves the night sky. For their honeymoon, she took him on a hike up the mountain near their house, so that they could perhaps meet a dragon she had seen once before, which she called a "night sky dragon." They did, and when her husband said it looked like the night sky was painted onto his wings, she got an idea.

Meadow decided to take up painting. She started in secret, and once she had perfected her skills, she gifted her husband with beautiful paintings of space. Since then they have started painting together. Their house is full of paintings of space, and they also gift them to other dragons.
