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.

The Simbul was adopted as an egg and named Alassra Silverhand upon hatching by Mystra a quite delusional dragoness, who named her to be one of seven sisters. Due to the influence of a mad adopted mother and the sadistic nature of her adopted father Alassra grew up to be a short-tempered and wild dragoness. Watching her adopted sisters turning into gentle and caring adults, Alassra decided to become a 'good' dragoness herself.

When she reached adulthood she chose to go by the name of 'The Simbul' rather than using her given name, distancing herself from the role her mother had intended, but also showing a lack of modesty by naming herself after a primitive deity. To this day The Simbul does her best to do the right thing but is still feared by most dragons because of her terrible temper.
