The Aeria Gloris are an unusual-looking breed. With six glowing eyes, a ring of crystals that orbits around the dragon’s neck, and seven sets of short wings lining their body, these dragons are thought to be related to something primordial, perhaps even alien. Regardless, Aeria Gloris Dragons are graceful and gifted with potent magic that allows them to manipulate space almost instinctively. They have been known to use highly complex teleportation magic on the fly, and while these dragons are not very mobile on the ground, they often take off by using their magic to create a field which temporarily reverses gravity’s hold. Aeria Gloris are usually neither malicious nor benevolent, preferring to mind their own business and wandering as if in search of something.

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.

Gloryseeker is unusual among the dragons of the Weyr of Flame in that his mate is not a member of his own species, but instead the Aeon Wyvern Timebound. Gloryseeker knows that the Weyr tends to frown upon such interspecies pairings, but he ignores the rumors of cursed, twisted hatchlings or magical ill-fortune. He loves his mate, and it is as simple as that. He'll bear any number of sidelong glances to be with his wry, quiet Aeon Wyvern.

Like others of his breed, Gloryseeker is a cerebral dragon, prone to deep silences and thoughtful musing about what could be. He and Timebound first grew close over long conversations about the potential in every choice, the hesitation they felt to move forward and choose one specific fate over another. Choices create the future, after all.

Gloryseeker loves his mate, including when she loses herself wondering about the futures that she could have made. But she has always been a choice he is willing to commit to, the only future he could ever want.
