Ice Dragons are fierce predators who hunt using their extremely cold breath. The breath of an ice dragon can freeze its prey solid in seconds. The body of an ice dragon is so cold that icicles will form along its skin no matter the outside temperature.

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.

On a clear summer day, when the bitter wind has died down, the frozen ice fields hold a strange, stark beauty. Vast and terrible, yet pure, shaped by the cruel hands of nature herself, the ice fields are home to only the strongest. It takes a tough spirit to thrive in such an unforgiving landscape, as Trelaclya has learned over years of being an outcast in her own clan. A kind flame in a world of ice, she has been forced on more than one occasion to hold back her true self and become the fearsome, hardened warrior she needed to become. But it is always hard denying a part of herself, and maiming when she would rather heal. She daydreams of leaving often, her bright vivid mind showing her warm pictures of green forests and flower-filled meadows and cool rivers alive with darting fish. But every time she turns her head towards the south, she forces herself to look away. She is a creature of ice, of course she could never belong anywhere but here. But that fact won't stop her dreaming.
