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.

Pelumbar is the leader of the Skylark Players, a group of dragons dedicated to preserving traditional draconic theater.  The plays are hopelessly old-fashioned in comparison to the extravaganzas put on by such groups as Roaring Lion Productions or New Era Entertainment, but Pelumbar is still convinced there's an audience for the sort of stylized works popular in previous centuries.  The income is barely enough to keep his actors from flying off to plunder the nearest city, most of the music is provided by an over-enthusiastic, under-talented drummer and an entirely too competent bagpipe player, and the writer has dreams of running off to join Roaring Lion, but Pelumbar refuses to give up on his dream.  His determination is contagious and his lectures on proper theatrical behavior deeply memorable, and while Pelumbar is far from an easy dragon to work with, those who stay learn much from him.
