Scimitar-wing Wyverns are a small breed, eating mainly birds and small vertebrates; as such, they lack the large teeth and heavy claws of their larger cousins. They are far from defenseless, however, and are named for the blade-like growth that forms over the first digit of their wings. The wyverns use these blades to defend themselves from any attacker. Their blades are quite strong and can cut through almost any scale or hide.

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.

Born in the colder regions of Galsreim, Gynarchy is currently the "mayor" of her community of volcanic dragons. She doesn't talk much about her childhood unless pressed for details, so not much is known about it except she became accustomed to cold in her youth. While leading her group and dealing with a slew of enemies keep her busy, she still finds time to study magic and tactics. She hopes to build a defense system for her community now that they've settled down—she hopes for a partly magical, partly physically-manned system that can identify and shoot threats. Perhaps it can harness the movement of magma below the caves for power. There're still a lot of parts to figure out (which will probably take years), but Gynarchy hopes that she and her assistants and engineers can eventually pull off something that ultimately makes everyone's lives easier.
