This breed of dragon was thought to exist only in legend. Although their name varies between cultures, they are often referred to as “Guardians of Nature.” They are able to channel the forces of fire, ice and lightning, which allows them to wield tremendous power. Seen very rarely, it is thought that they only become active when something is threatening the territory they have chosen to guard. In order to protect their chosen home, these dragons are incredibly adaptable; they have been seen everywhere from remote mountain ranges, to ancient forests, to the darkest depths of the ocean.

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.

Rin does not remember her parents, as they were killed when she was barely a year old, and she only found out later in life that she was the last of the Kaari bloodline. She grew up raised by wolves and thought of herself as more wolf than dragon. When her pack died she started to travel the world and eventually came down with a great illness. It was during this time of sickness that she realized what she was.

Taken in by the Raqus family, she eventually got tangled in dragon politics, found both of her true loves, and became a great ruler in her own right. She is known to be fair in her judgment and harsh to those that deserve it.
