Tri-Horn Wyverns are a mountainous species, living in high altitude areas among rocks and snow. The rough and rugged climate has bred a tough and hardened species, prepared to do battle with both the elements and other creatures. Their most distinctive feature is the three-horned crest mounted upon their head, for which they were named; these toughened spikes are powerful weapons, used to battle against predators, prey and fellow Tri-Horn Wyverns. Both males and females of this species fight for territory and resources, and wear scars with pride. However, Tri-Horn wyverns have a soft side beneath their many spikes. They work in loyal packs, of which they are deeply protective; if one can gain their trust, Tri-Horn wyverns can be powerful allies through the mountains.

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.

Scither is an optimistic and lighthearted daredevil who also works as a guard. He spends most of his time--both when on and off duty--in the windy mountain ravines, where he and other thrillseekers enjoy racing the dangerous mountain currents. He's supposed to stop the mischievous misfits from being mischievous misfits but rarely does a good job of it; if he notices someone being peer-pressured by the gang-like dragons, he'll often just join in as a friendly voice of encouragement, which doesn't really make him much better than the bullies. Nonetheless he's kind and helpful; he at least manages to keep the more dangerous dragons in line, and is ready to act if someone gets hurt while racing the winds in those ravines.
