Undine Dragons are named for the water spirits with which they share territory. They have close relationships with these spirits, and are able to communicate with them. In exchange for protection and respect of their mutual freshwater homes, laid eggs are often protected by a blessing. This blessing stays with the dragon into adulthood, and with it they gain potent magical abilities. Sometimes when an Undine Dragon becomes very upset, the ground at their feet may frost over or begin to steam. They have also been observed to manipulate water directly, rerouting raindrops or creating puddles from groundwater. Undine Dragons always live near forest pools, streams, or waterfalls. Both genders take equal part in the raising of young and are very good parents—though they may not remain mated after the offspring are grown.

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.

Born in a lush forest, Sunneya was caught one day in a windstorm that blew him deep into the desert. Surrounded for miles by sandy dunes, he grew dizzy and upset. He crashed into the ground, instinctively calling with his magic for the water he craved. Water burst up from underground, creating an oasis.

Sunneya lives there now, providing a source of hydration for any lost enough to stumble upon him. Few visitors actually realize he is there, for his golden coloring is a natural camouflage against the sand. Of those who do spot him, many think he is just a mirage. If any threaten him directly, they become his next meal.
