Desipis Dragons are an extremely dangerous breed, synonymous with the paths of desolation they leave in their wakes. These gargantuan beasts are infamous for their innate ability to control and manipulate the minds of others, which they use to pulverize the sanities of their foes and forge false memories. This power is especially effective on the foolish, and only the strongest-willed individuals have been known to resist a Desipis’s cunning. Most who anger Desipises do not live to tell the tale. Desipis Dragons are especially feared for their uncanny power of absorbing the magic of others with the fire they breathe and converting it into the bright reserves of crystallized mana that decorate their bodies.

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.

The Necromancer's forces covered the land as far as Fury could see. Magically reanimated corpses formed the front ranks, controlled by sorcerers and liches mounted on mind-bound Hellhorses. Behind them marched humans who'd willingly joined the Necromancer's cause, intermingled with the twisted beings bred from the experiments done on those who opposed the mad mage.

She screamed a challenge into the air, reaching out with her mind-shredding powers. The nearest sorcerer stumbled as she found her mark, but he quickly resisted her. His mind was bolstered by the power he wielded, or he was already insane. It was hard to tell.

This would be a good hunt. She would add several more gems to her hide today.
