Antarean Dragons are peaceful creatures shrouded in mystery. They are primarily found in the desert where they get most of their energy from sunbathing. Their most notable traits are their highly reflective manes and the mysterious light emitted by their scales which fades from bright, nearly blinding yellow-white into dim red as the dragons get older. Legend claims that they are otherworldly beings that came to this world when a meteor struck.

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.

De Rae is a large group of Antarean Dragons that live in the southern coastal deserts of Galsreim. Although individuals of the group are generally friendly towards humans and other dragons, their origins remain shrouded in mystery. Their bloodlines trace back hundreds of years, and legend has it that the oldest members of the group are of extraterrestrial origin.

Maya is the very beautiful eldest daughter of Arabelle and Julian. Legend has it that she was so stunning in her youth that she was able to seduce a silver dragon. Many of her descendants boast about this part of their lineage, although no one knows if it is true or not. Maya, similar to her secretive father, avoids most questions about her past, leaving the curious youngsters of De Rae to wonder, and of course, embellish the already dramatic stories and legends.
