Daydream Dragons are the hosts of daydreams and fantasies. They spend the majority of their time sitting on clouds, dropping daydreams down into the minds of people passing by. Humans who live near Daydream Dragons must be especially careful not to let their thoughts wander, or they could end up spending hours or even days in a trance-like waking dream state.

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.

Orpheus is a very musical dragon. His voice is a beautiful rich tenor, and he often sings for the sheer pleasure of doing so. In addition, he can play almost every instrument with a great degree of skill, and can pick up a new instrument after a couple hours left to discover fingerings. He seems to have an almost magical touch with them; no matter the state of the instrument--dented, warped, four broken strings--he can fix it and make it sound gorgeous. He could make a grass whistle sound like a symphony orchestra if he tried. However, he is little appreciated; given his nature, his audiences are inevitably distracted. They can only listen to him from a distance, in which case he doesn't realize they're there; and if they approach him to compliment his work, they become distracted. Alas, genius is unappreciated.
