Geode Dragons are closely related to Stone dragons. They are covered in a hard stone-like material as well as beautiful crystal. Their wings are entirely useless for flight, but they help attract mates. The dragons with the most brilliant and colorful crystals are more likely to 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.

Taverner owns an inn. When it started out, it was just a couple of stuffed sacks under a tarp with a trough and table at the front. After much hard work, good word-of-mouth, and new land ownership laws and building codes, he grew it to a sizable public house made of bone, granite, and fir. Though the prices are a bit high, many customers go there for the good food, variety of drinks (including the unique Turncoat Huangjiu), and sparkling atmosphere. Because there are at least four security guards on the premises at a time and several magical defenses in effect, very few people dare make trouble. Taverner's real name is Warren-Spilling-Tawny-Rabbits, but when his establishment was opened as the new city's official 10th tavern, he became known as Taverner Warren-Spilling-Tawny-Rabbits, then Taverner Warren-Tawny, and then Taverner. After more dragon rights legislation was passed, he was able to get a license to take in lodgers, making his tavern an inn, but he kept the name Taverner.
