Desipis Dragons are an extremely dangerous breed, synonymous with the paths of desolation they leave in their wakes. These gargantuan beasts are infamous for their innate ability to control and manipulate the minds of others, which they use to pulverize the sanities of their foes and forge false memories. This power is especially effective on the foolish, and only the strongest-willed individuals have been known to resist a Desipis’s cunning. Most who anger Desipises do not live to tell the tale. Desipis Dragons are especially feared for their uncanny power of absorbing the magic of others with the fire they breathe and converting it into the bright reserves of crystallized mana that decorate their bodies.

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.

Aquila is the strongest mind-manipulator among the Despises in the area. As such, she is revered and honoured by her brethren who see her as their natural leader. Her position merits her a personal guard who will protect her from all possible attacks, especially the physical ones. Until a few years ago, Aquila's guard was Navaar, the strongest physical fighter among her group. Naturally when the fool fell in love, and with a Royal Blue dragoness nonetheless, Aquila undertook the necessary steps to keep him from becoming soft.

Navaar took the whole thing personally but Aquila is patient. She is sure he will return to his prestigious position sooner rather than later.
