Striped Dragons come in a dazzling array of colors complemented by an intricate pattern of stripes. These bright colors and patterns help attract their favorite food, insects. Because their prey is so tiny, striped dragons must spend a large portion of their day eating. The color of the offspring is usually determined by the dragon’s mate.

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.

"I've always pitied the trees. Their roots are too deep and they don't even have wings to fly. Everything's always the same."

Many years ago, Reonry spent his days wandering aimlessly across the land, in search of little more than an adventure and a good time. But he got wrapped up in a heated conflict between a human city and a colony of wild dragons, imagining himself as one of the giant fire-breathing monsters that populate human tales rather than the diminutive little Stripe he is. During one skirmish, a stray arrow pierced the hide on his leg, giving him a crippling limp and binding him to one home (he never was a strong flyer). He is now a guard of a major trade city, where he sees people and dragons from every corner of the world... and laments to every bright young adventurer about his misfortune of taking an arrow to the knee. He's become somewhat of a joke; many parodies of his favorite phrase have been coined, though few understand Reonry is the only one who isn't joking.
