Royal Blue dragons are a nocturnal breed who prefer to live high in the mountains near slow-moving water that reflects the night sky. Although quite capable of defending themselves, they are peaceful by nature and will avoid a fight whenever possible.

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.

When Goral was a hatchling, he abandoned his cave and ran off. Since the moment he saw other dragons he knew he would never like them. Noise bothers him, movement bothers his eyes, the very aspect of living and moving around is repulsive to him. Goral made his way to a mountain all by himself as just a hatchling. He climbed very high, growing older with each step, and came across something that intrigued him like nothing ever had before.

Water fell over a great cliff, cascading down into a small pool and then leaving through a narrow stream. However, the water didn't just come down and leave, it continued and never truly moved away. Goral stared at this moving, yet not moving, water feature for many hours. To animals nearby, he appeared much like a statue.

He chose to make his home near that waterfall. Now he lives nearby in a cave, though a great deal of his time is still spent watching the water come down. It moves as he moves, yet never leaves.
