This breed of dragon was thought to exist only in legend. Although their name varies between cultures, they are often referred to as “Guardians of Nature.” They are able to channel the forces of fire, ice and lightning, which allows them to wield tremendous power. Seen very rarely, it is thought that they only become active when something is threatening the territory they have chosen to guard. In order to protect their chosen home, these dragons are incredibly adaptable; they have been seen everywhere from remote mountain ranges, to ancient forests, to the darkest depths of the ocean.

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.

Nico Marker is the son of Airea Elequera, Goddess of Dragons. All his life he believed he had inherited nothing from his mother except his good looks, and only acquired his fathers thirst. Recently though, Airea felt something in him. She had gone to visit her child who lived amongst the Markers, married to his sweet darling Elda. She whispered in his ear, things he had never wanted to hear in his life. She stood back as he roared and his body shifted into that of a dragon, larger then life. She smiled proudly, before reaching out and patting his head. "We are alike, see my child," she whispered in his ear before vanishing. He returned to his human state before collapsing on the ground, out cold.
