Water Walkers are small dragons that are frequently found around bogs and ponds. While they are flightless, they retain the flight sacs and hollow bones of their airborne cousins. These traits, coupled with their extraordinarily long, webbed toes, allow them to stand on top of calm waters, using their small sails to propel them wherever they please. They spend the majority of their lives on the water, retreating to the tops of lily pads when the waters become too rough to float atop.

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.

Nanook is the self-appointed Scribe of the Scroll, carefully documenting every story he comes across with methodical accuracy. One might wonder at a Waterwalker historian, but Nanook enjoys traveling across the lands, speaking to the dragons who experienced extraordinary events, and having their stories copied in his Book of Records. When not recording histories or conducting interviews, Nanook makes his home in the Bogs of Brythe, where he keeps a room in his cave for entertaining guests, although there are rarely any guests to entertain.
