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.

Lord Myst the Second pompously insists on being called by his full title; however, with time, this irritating tendency is revealed to be no more than a facade hiding a sweet and uncertain male. He wants nothing more than to live a quiet life, pursuing his passion for gardening, but the life of a royal has demanded that he sacrifice his happiness. Forced to take a mate to ensure his line continues- for the sake of his clan- this dragon lives a life that feels empty and unfulfilled. Compelled by guilt to have children, he felt nothing but sorrow when he took his first mate from a vast hoard of eager females. He and Lady Boa produced many children together, but he felt naught for her and wept at the vision of his desolate future.

But upon setting eyes on the delicate Lady Fezalion, fire lit his life again. Though it was her beauty that first caught his eye, it was her quiet passion for poetry that caught his heart. Desperately in love, he wooed her and won her heart.
