Neotropical Dragons are a breed that originate in rainforests. They are fun-loving and enjoy lounging on tree branches, eating whatever fruit they find. They are also often found sunning themselves on rocks, using their large wings to soak up the rays. In the summer, males compete for mates by showing off their striped wings and gliding in spirals down the tree trunks. It is said that the larger the wings, the more likely the male will attract a suitable mate.

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.

Hezekiah the Elder is a brilliant politician, but in spite of this obvious talent he instead sought out a life of theological studies and religious duty.  Unfortunately, the clergy he studied under found his abilities in this area entirely second-rate.  Despite this deficiency, his political savvy has enabled him to wield significant clergical clout and he has become a very important priest in the Church.  Unfortunately, his decisions of late made in respect to his priestly position are often theologically poor and increasingly unpopular, both with the priesthood and the laymen.  How much longer his political brilliance can stave off the end of his religious career is uncertain, but most expect he will be retired from his religious duties sooner rather than later.
