Magi Dragons are, as their name suggests, primarily magic users. They rarely use physical forms of attack. They eat anything they can kill, which is almost everything. They won’t kill unprovoked except when hunting, although they may kill humans if in danger. Their strong magic makes them one of the most feared breeds of dragons.

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.

Avuni is the founder of Ideal Living Monthly, a pamphlet dedicated to providing tips for bringing perfection to every aspect of one's life. No matter how unlikely the occasion, from entertaining human dignitaries from feuding countries to suddenly finding oneself descended upon by inspectors from Cave and Lairs Quarterly's contest division to unexpectedly playing host to disguised royalty, Avuni is full of advice about how to micromanage every little detail. As for more normal events, Avuni's articles will teach caveowners how to be a one-dragon force of cleanliness, order, decoration, and food preparation, capable of handling whatever life throws their way. Some dragons, tired of feeling perpetually inadequate, have dropped by her cave unexpectedly, hoping to find that Avuni is secretly a slob, only to find it just as described in her articles. Some suspect time magic, others suspect a team of cleaners, while others wonder if she made some regrettable bargain with dark forces.
