Swallowtail Dragons are graceful and quick flyers, much like their namesake bird. They are capable of precise aerial acrobatics, and can reach very high altitudes. Because of this, humans observing these dragons are often astonished at how large they are when confronted up close. A Swallowtail’s diet consists of insects and small mammals plentiful in temperate forests. These dragons are also made remarkable by their paper-thin wing membranes, which allow light to pass through, creating an astonishing effect on starry nights.

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.

Swallow Trail is very desirable, beautiful, and compassionate. She is also a very fierce warrior and hunter. She joined the Tribe as a little lost hatchling who had been forsaken and abandoned to die by her own kind for an unknown reason. She accidentally wandered into the secret tunnels that led to the back entrance of the Tribe's cave. Once inside she, by instinct, found the egg chamber and settled into one of the nests. Tired and upset she wasn't bothered who it belonged to and fell asleep amongst some of the eggs. That was how she was found, later that day, when the mother dragon came back to check on her eggs. After a word with the Tribe Leader she was adopted into the Tribe.
