Originating from a single species that thrived in ancient times, Xenowyrms have become an incredibly diverse breed whose appearances vary depending on their habitats. Each Xenowyrm subspecies is heavily reliant on the power of different types of mana, making them powerful magic users. Astrapi are easily the most temperamental of all Xenowyrm subspecies. Their unpredictable behavior—coupled with their masterful control of lightning magic—has the potential for devastating results. Most of their time is spent airborne, flying through the skies or circling mountainsides for prey.

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.

Stop Grabbing Eggs—Clean Scroll is a permanent resident of the Nworset Asylum. She is insistent that someone keeps stealing eggs from all the sitting dragonesses in town. She is sure of it and absolutely needs to track down and electrocute the culprit. Of course, there are only two instances of the crime known to have happened in the past dozen decades—the shadow-walker Ewysl's clutchmate, and the time this maniac tried to steal one of  Wrapped in Fail and Dykrr's eggs. She was promptly caught and the egg returned.

The other, easier to cope with mania that this dragon has in her scroll. She insists that it contains important information and therefore must be kept clean, to avoid destroying the valuable, top-secret knowledge. She has used so much magic to clean it (and poorly at that, because it is not lightning-aligned) that the ink that used to contain a children's fairy-tale has long since been purged.
