On sunny days when the sea is clear and sparkling, coastal villages are often treated to a spectacular sight. While normally shy, Tideweaver Lindwyrms are emboldened by fair weather, and when one starts to dance, the rest soon follow. However, their intricate fins and complex dances are more than just a dazzling show. Tideweavers rely on slight changes in their movements and fin positions to communicate with others of their kind. This communication is key; the lindwyrms are almost always found traveling within tightly bonded family groups. To show affection, they have been known to gently hold one another with their small front legs.

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.

Erratum is a very smart dragon who always has the right words for everything. She graduated from a university so elite that only very smart people know of it—literarily no one else has heard of it because that's how smart Erratum is. Even the really old and acknowledged dragons who've lived hundreds of years don't know about the university because her vast intellect makes dwarfs out of their intellects. Asked what degrees or credentials she has from the university, Erratum responds that she has an MTD in Gnshkvlogy, a TLA in Hzbdptecular Fiwmjxqs, and a bunch of others in fields you don't know are real because they're so advanced. Alas, Erratum never gets a chance to affix her smarts to problems that arise in her community because if she solved one (which she can do really easily, of course), the shear simplicity and brilliance of the solution would cause everyone to die of shock. Erratum spends most of her days in her personal secret study doing important things such as napping.
