An almost strictly nocturnal breed, Ciriax Lindwyrms are especially attuned to the moons’ cycles. They spend nights patrolling the edges of their territory, aggressively fending off intruders while they feast on their prey. After two or three nights of feeding, often around the time of at least one full moon, Ciriax Lindwyrms retreat to the recesses of their cave or underground homes. These dragons make it particularly difficult to travel on nights that are well-lit by moonlight, often to an unsuspecting adventurer’s dismay.

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.

Two-headed dragons are unique enough to deserve a separate classification from ordinary dragons. They have two necks, two brains, two mouths, but one stomach and one main body. The two heads usually work together, but there are times when they will fight each other, snapping back and forth. Their unique anatomy prevents them from breeding with single-headed dragons.

Queen Zyla is one of the most powerful dragons in the cryptic clan, mainly due to her scaling large mountains and her personal motivation. Her feats of strength and deeds of heroic proportion were so unmatched that she had trouble finding a king that would not live in her large shadow. When she found such dragon of worthy strength, she declared a kingdom for herself, separating from the clan. However, even as such a mighty symbol of power, she needed an heir. That was when her first child was born, but Such an egg of royal majesty could not be kept from the world! She decided after much thought to cast the unborn dragon into the wilderness, so that it may bless the dragons that comes upon it. This blessing of power came at a price; simply that her last name be carried on.
