Dorsal Dragons are so named because they have large fins along their backs that can be raised and lowered at will. They use these fins to regulate body temperature; they raise them to cool off when they become overheated. The bright colors on the fins double as a means of attracting mates.

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.

There is a cavern somewhere in Galsreim to which dragons from across the world send brief biographies of themselves and a small but dedicated team sorts through them, discarding the poorly-written and unbelievable, and cataloging the best ones in appropriate libraries—some as far away as northern Dacavris or Herktopia! Taking the Queue More Seriously sometimes volunteers there by proofreading the unsorted scrolls and—as per the custom—sending comments to the authours via the on-staff magis. He has never understood why his father would laugh at the massive cavern of biographies. Perhaps he found too many biographies of jokesters including their best one-liners, or perhaps it is due to a time before Taking the Queue More Seriously hatched, when over fourteen thousand biographies clogged the cavern. He was never on good terms with his father, but perhaps if Laughing at Queue wrote his own biography, the question would finally be answered.
