Yellow-Crowned Dragons are found in the hottest, driest regions of the desert. Although they thrive in these conditions, they do very poorly in cold or humid climates. These dragons are very fast fliers and skilled hunters, and usually feed on small, quick desert antelope. Yellow-Crowned Dragons are diurnal, and spend the night in underground burrows they dig or steal from other creatures. They are often seen out sunning themselves in the early morning sun, waiting for the heat of the day to set in.

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.

All Parsons wants to do is design clothing. She found her way into a desert city once, and the humans gave her several bolts of cloth and a couple of books in exchange for certain body fluids she'd rather not think about. Apparently, it's a good antiseptic. With every year of experience, Parsons became a better tailor and a more creative designer. Other dragons are intrigued with the sort of items she makes, the hooded capes their favorite to receive from her. Although bad for her health, she has been spending more and more time in other parts of the world, from jungles to plains, so she can play with different materials and styles. Many fabrics and garments just don't do very well in the heat of a desert.
