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.

After Trestif Firequeen completed her training at Fireflood Weyr, she set up her own training ground nearby and proclaimed herself to be the true master of fire.  There's a certain amount of hyperbole there, of course, but she really is quite skilled.  Trestif has now trained a fair number of young dragons, as she often manages to lure away those seeking entry into Fireflood Weyr.  The leaders of the weyr don't mind that Trestif intercepts a certain number of prospective trainees or that she boasts so much, as they feel that any dragon tricked into studying with her wasn't meant for the prestigious weyr in the first place.  Trestif has a steady supply of young dragons to hero-worship her; Fireflood Weyr has a higher percentage of truly dedicated trainees, and everyone's happy.
