Magi Dragons are, as their name suggests, primarily magic users. They rarely use physical forms of attack. They eat anything they can kill, which is almost everything. They won’t kill unprovoked except when hunting, although they may kill humans if in danger. Their strong magic makes them one of the most feared breeds of dragons.

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.

Meriom sometimes wishes that Valkemare had just one moon, because that would make her life so much easier. If her lunar magic simply waxed and waned as Cirion did, that wouldn't be so bad, but Aurax also negatively affects her magic with an intensity depending on its phase. Aurax's larger size gives it a greater impact, which means that the only time Meriom can safely cast moon-related spells is when lunar herald eggs are solidly in the middle of their blue phase.
