This breed of dragon was thought to exist only in legend. Although their name varies between cultures, they are often referred to as “Guardians of Nature.” They are able to channel the forces of fire, ice and lightning, which allows them to wield tremendous power. Seen very rarely, it is thought that they only become active when something is threatening the territory they have chosen to guard. In order to protect their chosen home, these dragons are incredibly adaptable; they have been seen everywhere from remote mountain ranges, to ancient forests, to the darkest depths of the ocean.

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.

Vs'shtak Sepa Di Verthichai is the legendary Guardian and Protector of the mountains. He resides in a hidden valley called Paradise, which he hides from prying eyes by cloaking in a spell during the day. When the cloaking spell is engaged, Vs'shtak Sepa Di Verthichai is ghost-like, able to pass through matter like a ghost and almost as invisible as his valley. Maintaining the cloak is thought to take a great deal of the Guardian's energy, which would explain why he sleeps during the day and arises at night. The inhabitants of the valley almost never see him, and those that do are too awestruck to tell. The inhabitants of Paradise are specially chosen by Vs'shtak Sepa Di Verthichai, and most do not ever want leave the valley. If any want to leave, Vs'shtak Sepa Di Verthichai will erase their memories so they do not remember Paradise. By night, Vs'shtak Sepa Di Verthichai flies a patrol above the valley, leaving it uncloaked but protected by Vs'shtak Sepa Di Verthichai in all his glory.
