Swallowtail Dragons are graceful and quick flyers, much like their namesake bird. They are capable of precise aerial acrobatics, and can reach very high altitudes. Because of this, humans observing these dragons are often astonished at how large they are when confronted up close. A Swallowtail’s diet consists of insects and small mammals plentiful in temperate forests. These dragons are also made remarkable by their paper-thin wing membranes, which allow light to pass through, creating an astonishing effect on starry nights.

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.

Jamey has been, for as long as she can remember, locked in a brutal war with the fruit trees. It started innocently enough; she was taking a walk through the orchard, hoping to get a peach or two, when a pear dropped on her from out of nowhere! She didn't think much of it and kept on going, but another, unidentified fruit landed on her head. She ignored it (again), only for the same thing to happen for a third time. Suspicious and frustrated, she investigated one of the nearby trees, when yet ANOTHER fruit dropped on her! Enraged, she attacked the offending tree and has continued to attack any that dare drop more fruit on her. The only tree that hasn't attacked yet is her favorite peach tree.

Rumor has it that if walking through the grove while a wind is blowing, childlike voices can be heard whispering "Help us... Help us..."
