Grave Dragons are not named for their connections to death or burial, but for the grave expression on their faces. This strange expression is used as a defense mechanism that causes fits of panic and terror in potential predators. Since they only eat ash and charcoal, they do not hunt. Grave Dragons are powerful fire-breathers and have been known to burn down forests and villages alike to make meals. It is believed that the markings on each Grave Dragon’s wings are the faces of those who have lost their lives in fires started by that dragon.

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.

Hesperia just tends her garden. There is no map to its location, but those who explore the cave in which the clans dwell may occasionally bump into her cave. Hesperia doesn't care who comes, she just tends her garden. It is a place of incomparable beauty, surrounded by gorgeous flowers and magnificent trees. Hesperia is immune to the beauty, she just tends her garden. But those who stumble across it often lose their breath in awe at it, and question its carer about how she got it into that state. Hesperia never replies to them, she just tends her garden. Some will stay a while in her garden, rest and replenish their supplies. Hesperia takes no notice of them, she just tends her garden. Eventually they will move on, always offering Hesperia the chance to come with them. She never responds, continuing to just tend her garden. And if one does wander out, deep into the caves, and live off her hospitality, that is how one will leave her too. For all she does is tend her garden.
