Mirisia Amphipteres are a calm, gentle breed, with extraordinary observation skills. They are known for their distinct, aromatic, sweet scent which comes from their vegetarian diet—fruit and fresh herbs. Many say there cannot be two individuals of the same gender with the same scent, this characteristic being exclusive for one male and one female, which are said to be destined partners. These dragons prefer to fly closer to the ground during spring and summer, when the nature is animated, while during autumn and winter, they fly higher in the sky. Mirisiae have stunning, acrobatic moves when they fly, a fact that is proven by their lithe, exquisite loops - movements they make when being attacked. With their elegant colors and beautiful plumage, Mirisia Amphipteres are believed to be amongst the most beautiful breeds in Valkemare.

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.

Valetudinary's life magic is imbued in his tamarind stew, which contains no tamarind and doesn't smell or taste like it but is a brown color. It's a hearty dish with tubers, plum tomatoes, yonder beans, and chickpeas, with enough spices to cause a burning sensation for several hours. The burning is where the magic occurs: diners get what is now nicknamed the Living Quivers, where they vibrate with vitality. After having a saucer of Valetudinary's stew, the next few hours is a good time to do something you've been meaning to do but thought you didn't have the energy or time. As far as anyone knows, the stew is the only way Valetudinary applies the life element to anything, but he does make a decent amount of it. The Living Quivers is sought after by many, and some dragons, for whom paying for product is too much of an inconvenience, are seeking one of the caches where he's rumored to keep ingredients, cooking implements, and chilled stew, without any luck so far.
