Canopy Dragons love to soar above the tropical jungles and other densely forested areas. Their billowing, layered wings create generous lift that allows them to ascend effortlessly over the warm jungle. While their unique wings do not make them the fastest flyers, they are champion gliders. To further this end, dexterity, maneuverability, and grace are all judged by the females when selecting their mates from the males that can accurately complete the exhausting and elaborate courtship dance between the close growing branches of the upper canopy.

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.

Tyler Kanopy does not like living at the edge of the empire. Only his family members live out here, and all of them make their living collecting plants: plants for eating, plants for healing, plants for fighting, plants for selling, plants for soothing patients, plants for sleeping ect. Tyler Kanopy hates plants. He can't wait to leave the jungle and meet interesting dragons from the central caverns, sophisticated dragons who talk about more than the weather. Perhaps he should just leave his mate and son and go.
