Aria dragons are a brightly-colored and sprightly breed, perhaps most adored for their lyric calls. Their song-like melodies fill the areas they inhabit; their coos resemble those of birds, only more elegant and refined. They have fairly strong magical capabilities, but tend to reserve these strengths for last-minute defense, choosing to live their lives in simple peace. Arias, sticking to the tropics, typically live quite far from human settlements, giving rise to the previously held belief that they had gone extinct.

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.

Every morning, What's-her-name comes out of her cave to sing something. Sometimes, she sings the same song from the day before, and sometimes, she's composed a new song. For the rest of the day, she's nowhere to be found. Her neighbors presume that she either does "regular stuff" or writes lyrics and tunes wherever she is. She is a really shy individual, or at least unwilling to talk to others. She's gained a small following for her music, but it seems the more they want to meet her to talk about her work, the faster she disappears. People aren't even sure if she's a "she", but she doesn't seem to mind what they say of her, if she knows they're talking about her at all.
