Cassare Dragons are known for their magic-deadening abilities. Though not a conscious ability, a large field surrounds the dragon through which magic is passively nullified. This field is strongest near the dragon itself, and falls off with distance. The absence of magic often makes other creatures avoid them, though some will have the opposite reaction and seek refuge instead. It has also caused them to be hunted, as though the field is severely weakened once dead, their bones and scales retain some of the effect. Possessing such an item is considered a necessity by those who expect to face hostile magic.

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.

In a mountain full of dragons very appreciative of magic there is a dragon with the name meaning 'the death of magi.' One would probably not assume that dragon to be popular.

Although Mortem Magi is friendly and quite likable, she's just not the type of dragon that the others want to hang around. Some dragons comment that the feeling of being powerless is 'shocking', and that if feeling that all the time is what they must go through to be around her, then they wouldn't get close to her at all.

Sometimes Mortem imagines what it would be like to live in a pack of other Cassare dragons, but knows that she wouldn't ever leave the caves of lchai. She hopes that one day the others will look past her differences. Maybe she'll even make a few friends.
