Antarean Dragons are peaceful creatures shrouded in mystery. They are primarily found in the desert where they get most of their energy from sunbathing. Their most notable traits are their highly reflective manes and the mysterious light emitted by their scales which fades from bright, nearly blinding yellow-white into dim red as the dragons get older. Legend claims that they are otherworldly beings that came to this world when a meteor struck.

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.

Abe is the younger of the Minarus brothers, and is the more ambitious one. Abe has always despised Aster for always being a step ahead of him in almost everything: age, magic, lore, agility... However, he has never been more than coldly ignorant to him.

One day, they were ambushed by dragon hunters, inflicting serious injuries on Abe and killing Aster for his mane and hide. The event has made Abe realize that despite all the jealousy in him, he still loved his brother. He turned to a necromancer, who was said to be able to bring the dead back healthy and unharmed. Unfortunately, the revival failed and Aster was turned into an emotionless, hostile shell of who he used to be. Still, Abe refuses to banish his brother's living corpse, as a reminder that he was unable to protect Aster when he needed it. Abe has sworn to never let any harm come to Aster, be it an attempt to defeat or banish him.
