On sunny days when the sea is clear and sparkling, coastal villages are often treated to a spectacular sight. While normally shy, Tideweaver Lindwyrms are emboldened by fair weather, and when one starts to dance, the rest soon follow. However, their intricate fins and complex dances are more than just a dazzling show. Tideweavers rely on slight changes in their movements and fin positions to communicate with others of their kind. This communication is key; the lindwyrms are almost always found traveling within tightly bonded family groups. To show affection, they have been known to gently hold one another with their small front legs.

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.

Flare Rajaram is the leader of the Tidal army, therefore in charge of making sure the rest of the Tidals don't go munch on a cheese dragon as a late night snack, and tend to the future generation of Tidals. The Tidal army is steadily growing, much to Flare's horror. Her second in charge, Jones, has been slacking in his duties (Caring for the Tidal hatchlings) which left Flare to tend to both the hatchlings and the eggs. She has tried to enlist the help of the Shallow Waters, and they agreed, but nothing happened towards helping the Tidal Army's young ones. The other Tidal adults are too busy trying to figure out what the Dinos are to notice that help is needed on the home front. Poor Flare has begged and pleaded for their caretaker, Rue, to stop bringing in Tidal eggs, but she just doesn't listen.
