Stone Dragons have a tough outer covering made of a stone-like material. They eat rocks, using the minerals they contain for nourishment and to keep up their stone outer shell. They rarely move, and are the heaviest of all types of dragons. Although they have wings, indicating flight ability, no one has ever seen a stone dragon flying.

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.

The Brownstone Spire stands in the desert. Those who are out of work, lost, filled with regret, in legal trouble, going through a divorce, hopelessly destitute, or feeling the consequences of being terrible people look to the Brownstone Spire. It does not cost any money to give oneself to the Brownstone Spire, though it costs other things. The Brownstone Spire is the last hope for those desperate enough not to care what those other things are. The Brownstone Spire does not discriminate morally, and those whose supplication and groveling fail to please the Brownstone Spire are met with a terrible fate.
