Perhaps among the most venerated of dragon breeds is the Zyumorph, a breed whose selfless heroism and strong moral compass are nearly unparalleled by other dragons. Zyumorphs have an innate urge to fend off wrongdoing, and as such, are often sought after in times of peril. Although they are independently quite capable fighters, it is said that their true might is not unlocked until all six Zyumorphs are brought together in times of great duress.

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.

While Zyuland's name sounds like a territory or country, he was actually named after his mother's breed. No one told him it sounded kind of funny until he was well over two centuries old, so there's no way he's changing it. He's also known by locals as the Hero Who Does Things. Zyuland likes to play tiles and droop on trees and rooftops during downtime. Both activities are challenging for him. He strongly prefers avoiding magic use unless he must, so there's a lot of fiddling around and fumbling during gameplay. Since a lot of people don't enjoy tiles with Zyuland, he spends a lot of the rest of his time on trees and roofs, and there aren't many of those that can accommodate his size. Few dare to offer critique to him because no one's comfortable saying anything negative to their Hero Who Does Things, who works so hard to keep peace between parties and thwart disasters.
