This breed of dragon was thought to exist only in legend. Although their name varies between cultures, they are often referred to as “Guardians of Nature.” They are able to channel the forces of fire, ice and lightning, which allows them to wield tremendous power. Seen very rarely, it is thought that they only become active when something is threatening the territory they have chosen to guard. In order to protect their chosen home, these dragons are incredibly adaptable; they have been seen everywhere from remote mountain ranges, to ancient forests, to the darkest depths of the ocean.

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.

Evere has never had a true home. Even in Hawktalon's cave where she was raised from an egg she didn't feel like she belonged. No one wanted to know her for who she was, they only wanted to be close to the strange powers possessed by her breed. Yet she stayed, privately basking in the compliments she was too afraid to admit she enjoyed.

Finally it became too much. She wanted a real home with real friends who would like her for the dragon she was underneath the power. So she left with only the moon's glowing face to guide her and flew with her back to the cave until it disappeared on the horizon. Evere is still wandering alone, searching for a place to rest her weary wings once and for all; a place where she would be the equal of every dragon there. But despite her desire to leave Hawktalon's dragons, she still returns every so often, proclaiming herself their protector. Maybe she missed being complemented. Or maybe the human girl seems to be the one person who fails to judge her.
