Desipis Dragons are an extremely dangerous breed, synonymous with the paths of desolation they leave in their wakes. These gargantuan beasts are infamous for their innate ability to control and manipulate the minds of others, which they use to pulverize the sanities of their foes and forge false memories. This power is especially effective on the foolish, and only the strongest-willed individuals have been known to resist a Desipis’s cunning. Most who anger Desipises do not live to tell the tale. Desipis Dragons are especially feared for their uncanny power of absorbing the magic of others with the fire they breathe and converting it into the bright reserves of crystallized mana that decorate their bodies.

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.

One of the three Great Matriarchs of the Vorare clan, she is the most magically powerful of her siblings. It was Hex who taught the other Vorare Desipis about magic, and it is Hex who remains the best of them at spellworking and rituals. Lhaal and Vertigo were better students than the males of the clan, but this talented dragon-witch has been able to enhance the knowledge and power of all her siblings to some degree at least. Hex is vindictive and temperamental, yet has great self-control. You will never know that you have angered her by how she behaves in front of you. The she-Desipis always seems calm, even languid, never betraying any sign of the emotions that seethe within. Those who incur her wrath never know for certain it was her who ruined their lives. Yet it always seems like no one else could produce the devastating array of curses and ill-wishes that plague them. The old Desipis delights in stretching her imagination to devise ever-cleverer jinxes to execute her revenge.
