Reth'da Sings-in-Shadow, the Captive Sunbeam, is one of five talented and refined pearl dragons known to their clan as the Chorus of the Persisting Shadow. (The others are Daaveth, Katheryn, Seyzha and Vielle). The chorus was selected as tiny hatchlings by Ri'il, the clan founder, for their exceptional beauty and cleverness, coupled with a harmony of form and hue meant to symbolize the triumph of Shadow over Light. The chorus is closely guarded, carefully attended and greatly appreciated by the rest of their clan. It is hoped that their whelps will bring fitting tribute, honor and delectation to the Shadowbinder, whether shared with other clans or through exaltation.

Reth is a musician of rare skill. His warbling song often carries lightly through his forest home, and his habit of waking before the birds has earned him the name 'Morning Chickadee.' This isn't always intended as a compliment, since many of the dragons of Persisting Shadow are very nocturnal; some have responded by constructing elaborate muzzles. Still, there's no stopping him.

While all five of the chorus are very close with each other, Reth and Daaveth are particularly inseparable. Dragons weary from hunting and fighting look forward to the lovely males' graceful and harmonious performances.
