Canopy Dragons love to soar above the tropical jungles and other densely forested areas. Their billowing, layered wings create generous lift that allows them to ascend effortlessly over the warm jungle. While their unique wings do not make them the fastest flyers, they are champion gliders. To further this end, dexterity, maneuverability, and grace are all judged by the females when selecting their mates from the males that can accurately complete the exhausting and elaborate courtship dance between the close growing branches of the upper canopy.

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.

Varia Endur is the beautiful daughter of Vasir Endur. Like her father, she loves flying. However, she is exceptional at it. Humans and some dragons honor her with the name "Daughter of the Wind". Varia is still considered young, but she has a secret love. Age does not matter with dragons who live so long, and she has a hope that Amon Endur will take her for his mate once she finishes her training. Varia does not tell Amon anything, even though her owner tells her to confess. She fears that Amon will turn her down because of her still being a new Endur, or not find her good enough for him. Varia still has much training to go through, and by that time, she may be ready to face Amon Endur.
