Sweetlings are a small, flightless breed of dragon. They are omnivores who favor sweet fruits and honey, and have been known to go to great lengths to obtain their favorite treats. Their long, prehensile tails allow them to grab onto branches and give them superior balance. Sweetlings are expressive dragons and have a large array of calls to communicate with others. They become very vocal during breeding season and sing long, beautiful melodies to attract a mate. Inquisitive in nature, Sweetlings are known to investigate anything that piques their interest, and are quick to flee if the object of their curiosity strikes back.

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.

Amiryllis' original name was Amir, however growing up Amiryllis had never felt akin to that name and his own masculine form. He felt a dis-junction and this caused him a lot of distress and pain. It was difficult to talk about with the dragons around him, and therefore even more difficult for him to understand himself. Eventually he couldn't deal with it any longer and left the colony he had been hatched into, hoping that through travel he could find someone to explain how he was feeling, which was what happened. During his wandering he came across an ancient dragon with a wealth of knowledge on both human and dragon issues. This dragon explained to Amiryllis that the dis-junction he was feeling was not a unique case, that many others had similar experiences. The dragon told him that he should follow what he felt inside, not the expression he was born with. Relieved, this is the idea Amiryllis followed, he decided to accept himself as a she instead, adopting the name she has today.
