Skywing Dragons spend most of their lives flying in the air. They hunt from the air, diving at prey from above, and land only to rest. They are some of the fastest fliers, capable of extremely high speeds. The webbing at the end of the tail acts as a rudder, allowing them to easily change direction during flight.

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.

Sonrye is an elderly, wise Skywing dragon who is the oldest in her clan. She is the advice guru among her companions, having more knowledge of the world then many dragons. Though she has her own, to her all of the dragons in her clan are her children. They all look up to Sonrye with respect and awe. However, Sonrye can be forgetful and eccentric at times, and her way of speech is often confusing to the other dragons. She can usually be found sunbathing on a rock, curled up like a snake, asleep.
