Radiant Angel Dragons are known for their intuition—they always seem to know when someone is feeling down, and will do what they can to provide cheer. These dragons are curious and will poke their noses into anything. They communicate with one another by making sounds similar to singing. It is said that the golden feathers shed from their whiskers can rekindle lost feelings of love.

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.

Desire Path, like many dragons, has a weakness for pretty, sparkly treasures, but he hides that well. He works under a human locksmith and keeps up with the latest technology that way. He's nice to everyone in town and uses his intuition to mediate disputes, so everyone likes him. About once a month, he and his friend, Hyperspace Fury, travel away "on business" to places the locksmith partner doesn't know, though whatever it is must be important. Once they reach a foreign settlement, Desire Path spends the next few days carefully observing the humans there. He then robs houses, stalls, and businesses of shiny and useful objects that the humans won't immediately notice are missing. Hyperspace Fury's teleporting magic moves the loot to remote areas far away until the two have gotten their fill. They then hoof it back and return to their home, the people in neither town none the wiser about their adventures.
