Seasonal Dragons take on the characteristics of the season during which they are born. Thus, eggs that are laid in spring match the pink flowers and green buds of spring, and those that are laid in the summer grow to depict the bright green of the forest trees and the yellow of the sun. Eggs laid in autumn display the bright colors of leaves falling from trees, and those that are laid during winter take on the appearance of the icy snow.

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.

Falcross lives in the harsh arctic lands to the north. He has taken a group of humanoids under his protection. The humanoids seem to look up to him as a protector god. Although he knows he is in no way immortal, he allows them to think what they wish. He is as patient as the mighty glaciers and welcomes the tribesmen to his cavern. When the humanoids are in danger he helps them. For foes he casts unsettling blizzards, causing whole armies to turn around lost. In times of famine, he is known to travel far and bring "his" tribes nourishment. His cavern is as sparsely furnished as the wasteland. When tribute is given for his protection he tends to disperse it among humanoids of good nature.
