Swallowtail Dragons are graceful and quick flyers, much like their namesake bird. They are capable of precise aerial acrobatics, and can reach very high altitudes. Because of this, humans observing these dragons are often astonished at how large they are when confronted up close. A Swallowtail’s diet consists of insects and small mammals plentiful in temperate forests. These dragons are also made remarkable by their paper-thin wing membranes, which allow light to pass through, creating an astonishing effect on starry nights.

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.

Wakfela is a rather fierce warrior who originated from a savage dragon tribe far away. Her title among her tribe was Eyesplitter due to the speed at which she can defeat her foes, but she has rejected this and her old way of life. Now she makes her home in the Clan's main caverns, and earns her living by working together with other troops to hunt down criminals. She is known for her extremely short temper and somewhat savage disposition--being one to quickly resort to violence as an answer--but she understands this was just how she is raised, and though she doesn't quite understand the more peaceful local culture, she does her best to respect the command of her superiors.
