Striped Dragons come in a dazzling array of colors complemented by an intricate pattern of stripes. These bright colors and patterns help attract their favorite food, insects. Because their prey is so tiny, striped dragons must spend a large portion of their day eating. The color of the offspring is usually determined by the dragon’s mate.

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.

As you walk through the forest, you come upon a dragon that appears to be asleep.  This dragon is a perfect example of what happens to members of the CODE clan who have disobeyed it's rules. She was a middle-class member of the CODE clan, who's code is soNL.  She fell in love with aQdU, who was not a member, which is allowed (although frowned upon), but she did more.  SoNL had an egg, which did not have a CODE clan approved code...and she kept it.  This was a serious violation of the CODE clan's rules, and it resulted in her being thrown out of the Clan.  Now, soNL keeps her code as a reminder of her old life, and spends most of her time with her mate or alone, thinking and pondering the question:  Was it worth it  As you leave the dragon to sleep, you start to wonder if love is worth being thrown out of a group that is as close as family-is it even worth it to be in such a group if there is a possibility that you will be thrown out because of love.
