Undine Dragons are named for the water spirits with which they share territory. They have close relationships with these spirits, and are able to communicate with them. In exchange for protection and respect of their mutual freshwater homes, laid eggs are often protected by a blessing. This blessing stays with the dragon into adulthood, and with it they gain potent magical abilities. Sometimes when an Undine Dragon becomes very upset, the ground at their feet may frost over or begin to steam. They have also been observed to manipulate water directly, rerouting raindrops or creating puddles from groundwater. Undine Dragons always live near forest pools, streams, or waterfalls. Both genders take equal part in the raising of young and are very good parents—though they may not remain mated after the offspring are grown.

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.

Dianalle is often a very stressed dragon. She runs the OtterWeb, an organization designed to help young dragons with their powers. Since the SandFox, an enemy organization, often kidnaps those that the OtterWeb wishes to train, Dianalle also has to provide arguments against that. A few years ago, her brother Jasen helped her, but on a mission, Jasen was killed. Since then, she lost her sense of humor, became snappy, and was put under extreme pressure. She mentors young dragons now and has their interests at heart, no matter what anyone says. She still mourns the death of her brother and often takes trips to the mountain cave where his decaying body rests forever.
