Aria dragons are a brightly-colored and sprightly breed, perhaps most adored for their lyric calls. Their song-like melodies fill the areas they inhabit; their coos resemble those of birds, only more elegant and refined. They have fairly strong magical capabilities, but tend to reserve these strengths for last-minute defense, choosing to live their lives in simple peace. Arias, sticking to the tropics, typically live quite far from human settlements, giving rise to the previously held belief that they had gone extinct.

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.

Fayren lives close to the water-dragon male, Dagorath. She makes her home in a glittering cave behind a waterfall in the same river that Dagorath grew up in. Of all of Ysera's dragons, Fayren is the most playful and can usually be seen frolicking with Yxen, the little female mint. Fayren is also an avid collector of shiny things and her cave is littered with several baubles and gems that she finds on her explorations. Every now and then, when she is in a good mood, Fayren brings some of her trinkets to Ysera as a gift.
