Cassare Dragons are known for their magic-deadening abilities. Though not a conscious ability, a large field surrounds the dragon through which magic is passively nullified. This field is strongest near the dragon itself, and falls off with distance. The absence of magic often makes other creatures avoid them, though some will have the opposite reaction and seek refuge instead. It has also caused them to be hunted, as though the field is severely weakened once dead, their bones and scales retain some of the effect. Possessing such an item is considered a necessity by those who expect to face hostile magic.

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.

For a long time, the telepathic communication of dragon-kind was believed to be magical in nature. This belief was undisputed in the AnselaJonla flock, even with the presence of the magic-less Mints.

Then Qwow and her kin were discovered, and their magic-repelling abilities realised. By all theories, this should have rendered them telepathically deaf and mute. Yet they were not, shattering the magic-telepathy belief into smithereens.

Qwow is part of the research team trying to discover a new explanation for dragon-kind's telepathic ability. Her sarcastic approach to problems is a means of diffusing tension with the more magical breeds, who feel uncomfortable working in close proximity to her.
