On sunny days when the sea is clear and sparkling, coastal villages are often treated to a spectacular sight. While normally shy, Tideweaver Lindwyrms are emboldened by fair weather, and when one starts to dance, the rest soon follow. However, their intricate fins and complex dances are more than just a dazzling show. Tideweavers rely on slight changes in their movements and fin positions to communicate with others of their kind. This communication is key; the lindwyrms are almost always found traveling within tightly bonded family groups. To show affection, they have been known to gently hold one another with their small front legs.

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.

Lard Helix is treated as a god by a small but very loyal group of young humans. When he was out-surfed by a heathen rival, many of the humans stopped following him. He gained a few kilos during his sorrowful hiatus and stayed this way until a girl found him dozing in the water. The human praised Helix and convinced her community to do the same for their fallen god. Rejuvenated and inspired, Helix trained hard and spread word of his return, though he never shed the thick fat he acquired earlier. He's a little slow for a tideweaver because of it, but he can still move around water and move water around like a pro.
