Guardian Dragons have large shields on the end of their tails. Although the shields appear to be heavy, they are light, yet nearly unbreakable. Guardian Dragons use their tail-shields, as well as their wings, to deflect attacks and protect others. Often, they will guard the eggs and hatchlings of a nest while others are away. They are generally peaceful, and will not retaliate unless necessary. They have no need to forage or hunt, as they are fed by those they protect.

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.

Grandeur Shield is a rather quiet and somber dragon. He is content with sitting at the mouth of a cave and standing guard for long periods of time. He and Forum Guard get along famously in this prospect and consider themselves comrades because of it. Forum Guard and Grandeur never leave the mouth of the cave unless one of them is standing guard.

When Grandeur is not guarding the mouth of the cave he is with his mate Morning of Glory.
