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.

Golden Fire has a life's ambition to collect stories. She has gathered books and scrolls from all corners of her world to save them for the future generations to know. Since she is unable to write, all the stories she collects from her fellow dragons have to be memorized, but she has collected inks, brushes, quills and scrolls in the hope that one day she will find a smaller dragon that will have an interest in writing these stories down for her. Perhaps one of the new pygmy breeds that gather to listen to her stories will fulfill her dream.
