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.

Nicodeme is a contemplative mage. He enjoys sitting in a cave for hours on end, meditating, and flying with his mate, Verena Darshana. The pair live in a mountain monastery, where they grant enlightenment to those seeking it and make monolithic paintings.

This monk-like dragon eats mountain goats and plants, despite his belief in the sanctity of all beings. He refuses to cannibalize, but he would eat humans if it did not upset his hosts. This stems from his belief that all creatures will be reincarnated after death. If given an opportunity, though, he will always eat the less self-aware creature, because of the trauma pain causes before life is cut short.

Nicodeme still has connections to his parents, who were more caring than most dragons. He had somewhat of an idyllic hatchlinghood, with other hatchlings to play with and good food and loving parents.
