Holiday dragons are a very mysterious breed. They are only seen during winter, and even then it is hard to catch a glimpse of one. They are responsible for the general cheer that spreads during the holidays. In essence, they are the “Spirits of Winter.”

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.

Despite being a Wintermagi and thus generally associated with festive spirit and goodwill towards dragonkind, Forl is infamous in the lands he travels as a dangerous menace and sometimes even a mad dragon. He plunders villages. He terrorizes the human populace. He has even been known to kill and eat people.

The truth is, he takes no particular pleasure in any of these activities, but he knows no other way to get the attention of Best, another Wintermagi roaming through the lands and a hero to boot. They used to be friends, maybe even more than that, but then Best left to have adventures and help the helpless humans and, well, do all that heroic nonsense and do it on his own. Forl knows that every hero needs a nemesis though and maybe he can teach Best that they aren't all that different after all and if not he can a least steal the odd kiss now and then. Stealing is what evil masterminds do after all.
