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.

Boldly going where few dragons have gone before, Akirkita has lived through all sorts of adventures, from endlessly multiplying fluffballs to hostile colonies and strange phenomena. He wasn't quite the first to lead one of the legendary traveling weyrs, but he's the earliest one that most remember. Akirkita's no paragon of virtue—he has an eye for females and a tendency to be a large ham—but he is at heart a decent, honorable dragon. He's influenced every single traveling weyr since his own, and leaders often ask themselves what Akirkita would do in a dangerous situation.
