Falconiform Wyverns are normally shy creatures. However, when approached, they often feel threatened, and the flames along their bodies leap higher. Females tend to be smaller than males, though Falconiform Wyverns are typically rather large overall. They use their size to their advantage by hunting smaller dragons. The Falconiform’s graceful, swooping dives are said to resemble birds of prey. Falconiforms are largely solitary dragons that only meet in order to breed.

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.

Khorai had a peaceful childhood. He had learned not to trust strangers after being invited to a small group of dragons with his parents. The strangers attacked suddenly, killing Khorai's mother and driving off Khorai and his father. He ended up in a cave only with his father.

Later, near maturation, another dragon was brought into his life. Khiyadas, a Tri-horn wyvern, was also a hatchling, and was running, fatigued, from adult tri-horns who looked murderous. Khorai's father, who was outraged that a hatchling should be pursued

with such hatred, drove off the dragons who were chasing Khiyadas. Thus Khiyadas came to live with Khorai and his father, who treated them both with equal love and respect, and eventually, with equal trust after Khiyadas saved Khorai from a hostile dragon who was out for blood. Khiyadas and Khorai have developed a very strong bond, and live as brother and sister, though well aware of differences. As they have grown up into adults, the bond has remained.
