Green Dragons are also sometimes called “earth” dragons. They usually live deep within caves, and have power over the earth. They are capable of launching boulders at high speeds, and can cause earthquakes by slamming down onto the ground.

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.

Erityla is a feisty young dragoness who enjoys dividing her time between reading, flying, and causing her adopted mother no end of mischief if the occasion ever arises. She enjoys teasing the gremlins who often visit her adopted mother, knowing that they show affection through such things, as well as playing with her younger siblings. (In fact, its the gremlins who gave her the idea of showing poor Nimarkiva affection through mischief.) Erityla also collects small odds and ends which catch her attention, because she's quite sure that they will be useful for something eventually. She loves to practice using her talent to skip small stones across the lake near the house where she was raised, hoping that one day she will be able to beat one of her gremlin uncles in a skipping stone contest. (Erityla has a bet going with him—if she can beat him in a fair game, ten stones each, he has to go flying with her.) Often she reads until she falls asleep.
