Sunstone Dragons are named after the orb on their tails, which resembles the gem of the same name. Their social structure resembles a lion pride, with one dominant male and several females banded together with their young. They prefer arid climates where they can blend in and dig for minerals and gemstones that they not only collect, but eat. The more gems they consume, the larger their tail stone grows. They are an aggressive breed; it is not uncommon to see two males battling for mates and territory.

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.

When VOTE OR DIE realized how disorganized the cave was, she knew that things needed to change. After much deliberation, she came up with an amazing system of government in which each individual would have a say in every decision that would be made. Surprisingly, however, some of the dragons did not want to participate in this new form of government. VOTE OR DIE came up with a new rule to solve the problem: Any dragon that does not wish to vote will be violently killed. Needless to say, no one ever tried to voice their opinion again.
