Geode Dragons are closely related to Stone dragons. They are covered in a hard stone-like material as well as beautiful crystal. Their wings are entirely useless for flight, but they help attract mates. The dragons with the most brilliant and colorful crystals are more likely to mate.

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.

Shi Ling is the beautiful and cherished offspring of the Stone dragon Trobi and the Green dragon Evia. Steeped in rock and earth lore from both of her parents, she now helps them in the constant excavation and reshaping of the adoption cave. Occasionally, she comes to the surface to watch her nest mates and the newest hatchlings fly, and rarer still she envies them the gift. Then she returns to the deep and the quiet of the cool, wise bedrock and remembers why she is glad of who and what she is.
