Perhaps among the most venerated of dragon breeds is the Zyumorph, a breed whose selfless heroism and strong moral compass are nearly unparalleled by other dragons. Zyumorphs have an innate urge to fend off wrongdoing, and as such, are often sought after in times of peril. Although they are independently quite capable fighters, it is said that their true might is not unlocked until all six Zyumorphs are brought together in times of great duress.

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.

There is no organization so elite (in Payable's opinion) as the club known for poetry. They accept new members into the writing family: the applicant should be enthusiastic about poetry and able to write a decent poem, which is reviewed by the club's community officers. Payable is one of the region's most powerful protectors, with a cool confidence that the youth love, but that won't help her get into the club. She has none of the skills to write poetry or write well at all. The first poem she submitted was a statement split haphazardly into lines:

my name is

Payable, I wuold

like to

join yur club!!!

The officers first didn't believe she was serious, but they learned that she's 100 percent serious and doesn't give up easily. Time and time again, she presents her poetry only for the officers to reject them and provide writing tips. Her lair is filled with scraps and flat rocks with tips written on them. While working on her next poem, she always follows one tip and forgets the others.
