Frilled Dragons are smaller than most other breeds, but when threatened, they stretch out their wings and frills to appear larger. They generally do not like to fight and prefer hiding to confrontation. Frilled dragons live in small groups and often band together to scare off potential threats. Males also use their frills as a way to attract mates, with those displaying the “best” frills being more likely to breed.

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.

A large frill dragon born to a prestigious family, Qualis left home at an early age to pursue the life of a bard. His instrument of choice is a hand-crafted lute made from sycamore wood, and his voice is a pleasant baritone. His repertoire contains folk songs collected from various dragon species and a number of ballads of his own creation. He now travels from place to place, rarely staying in a single village for more than a few nights before moving on to another place.
