Coastal Waverunners spend most of their time skimming the waves along the coast, snatching up their prey from the shallow waters. They have developed markings along the leading edges of their body that help disguise them as breaking waves. When they are not hunting, they enjoy playing among sand-dunes and shallow tide-pools. These dragons live in small but noisy rookeries. Some stories say Waverunners can fly for days on end without landing.

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.

Eimar, along with his mate Ryker, have taken it upon themselves to teach the growing hatchlings of the cave how to fly. Their den is in the cliffs above a beach, and the warm updrafts and soft landing make it the ideal place for debut flyers. Eimar is the more outgoing of the two and prefers to work with the younger hatchlings who are eager to start and have lots of questions. He enjoys the freedom of working with young dragons without the responsibility of raising one of his own. When not teaching eager hatchlings how to fly, he and Ryker enjoy long flights and races down the shoreline, catching fish, and spending quiet moments in each other's company.
