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.

Gykevas is an expert at parting gullible individuals—dragon and human alike—from their hard-earned coins. Her method of choice is cards, thanks to spells she's designed to get around being rather too large to manipulate a standard deck. Most humans are distracted enough by the sight of dragon-sized cards shrinking back to normal when they leave Gykevas' claws (and the process reversing itself when she takes a card back) that she could be the least competent cardsharp ever and still rake in the gold. Gykevas might not quite fit in with Priksin's vision, as her gambling habit does rather interfere with Mystic Mountain's (invented) reputation as a home of wise oracles, but there's nobody better for raising the funds needed to keep the deception going.
