Sweetlings are a small, flightless breed of dragon. They are omnivores who favor sweet fruits and honey, and have been known to go to great lengths to obtain their favorite treats. Their long, prehensile tails allow them to grab onto branches and give them superior balance. Sweetlings are expressive dragons and have a large array of calls to communicate with others. They become very vocal during breeding season and sing long, beautiful melodies to attract a mate. Inquisitive in nature, Sweetlings are known to investigate anything that piques their interest, and are quick to flee if the object of their curiosity strikes back.

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.

Located on a lonely plain lies a distant village, the townsfolk simple and content. They have never seen a dragon before and view the idea of such beasts as legends, stories to scare naughty children.

Even when a rumor started of a pink creature slinking in the shadows of the alleys, no one thought of it as a dragon. Word was that it was a mutated cat, or an abomination. No one was fast enough to catch a full view of the beast and time passed quickly, with the creature's presence slowly forgotten.

That changed when it actually appeared in full view. At first, everyone was nervous and fearful, thinking that they were seeing things and that it was an illusion. The dragon seemed to not mind that it was ignored and followed random folk, not making a sound but watching with curiosity.

As years passed, the town became comfortable with the creature, though no one tried to ever interact with it. Any visitors asking about it were ignored and sent away.

Dragons are just legends, after all.
