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.

Unlike most of her clan, Sorrel has turned away from the lighter, brigher side of magic and embraced the darker arts. The clan elder, Kveldulf, once found her rootling around in the pile of abandoned eggs by the cave entrance looking for dead ones she could experiment on. She believes that by careful manipulation of the forces of entropy, she can bring about a process to resurrect even dead eggs. Her experiments—those that have lived—have mostly gone wild, but one or two have stuck around and loom imposingly at dragons who try to spy on Sorrel's work. The creepy, half-living creatures are shadows of their former selves but serve as intimidating and ghoulish reminders of her research. Other dragons steer clear of her. She appreciates their avoidance as she can find little time for the living these days—indeed, they are of little concern to her. Life is short, but 'unlife' is forever.
