Canopy Dragons love to soar above the tropical jungles and other densely forested areas. Their billowing, layered wings create generous lift that allows them to ascend effortlessly over the warm jungle. While their unique wings do not make them the fastest flyers, they are champion gliders. To further this end, dexterity, maneuverability, and grace are all judged by the females when selecting their mates from the males that can accurately complete the exhausting and elaborate courtship dance between the close growing branches of the upper canopy.

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.

Severio is of regal ancestry, born to lead a feral kingdom of dragons to their 'great destiny' foretold in the legends. However, upon his coming-of-age ceremony, his father revealed to him that the prophecy held a much darker undertone than most would believe. He was to cull the weak and the old, as well as give severe punishment to any artists. Being secretly fond of painting himself, Severio refused outright. His father, thusly, gave him a nasty scar and banished him, before dying shortly after in a rebellion. Severio has never had any desire to return, and likely won't ever. He is fond of collecting fragments of glass and arranging them in pretty patterns and pictures. He also likes to talk moonlit strolls along the nearby lake.
