Perhaps among the most venerated of dragon breeds is the Zyumorph, a breed whose selfless heroism and strong moral compass are nearly unparalleled by other dragons. Zyumorphs have an innate urge to fend off wrongdoing, and as such, are often sought after in times of peril. Although they are independently quite capable fighters, it is said that their true might is not unlocked until all six Zyumorphs are brought together in times of great duress.

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.

At the start of each day, Sei patrols the coastlines, searching for sea animals that have stranded themselves on the beach or rocky cliffs and need assistance returning to the water. Should she come across a lost dragon hatchling, she will bring them inland and leave them near a food source, or place them near a clan's living spaces if the hatchling has no caregivers. When sea-born storms arrive, Sei becomes especially vigilant, making sure to keep extra supplies in public refuge caves for any lost dragons waiting out the weather.
