Setsong Dragons wake with the setting of the sun. They can be found hunting during the night, only to vanish into their lairs once the sun begins to rise. Their glossy feathers and scales are a deep purple, but the evening sunlight reflects off of their bodies in a beautiful red-gold shimmer. Setsongs are reclusive dragons, found alone or in small groups, and are fiercely territorial--and loyal, protecting their hatchlings and group just as stubbornly as their hunting grounds. These dragons have a respectable ability to weave magic, but only once the sun has started to set: the daylight weakens their magical powers, and their spells are most potent at night.

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.

Suria is rather aggressive and pushy. He is an easily frustrated, little individual. Most anything can set him off. The second things stop going his way, he's prone to throwing temper tantrums and launching hastily drawn magic weavings left and right. The thing is, however, Suria's insecurity lessens the closer it gets to evening, and, by night, he seems like an entirely different dragon. He becomes completely calm, reasonable, and submissive. But, as soon as the sun rises, he goes right back to being unbearably irritable. Suria does not like to be around other dragons in both cases. During the day, he's often found shouting and screeching at anybody who so much as looks at him funny, while, at night, he simply avoids them or politely disengages from any potential conversation. He really doesn't care for his family, who are so jaded and pathetic he'd rather be disowned. The only reason he stays with them is his minuscule size, which would make him an easy meal without protection.
