It was previously believed that purple dragons were exclusively female, but this is not the case. Recent environmental shifts have revealed the existence of both genders of this breed. Female behavior is well known; they are primarily herbivores but will eat meat during mating season. On the other hand, very little is known about the behavior and habits of male purple dragons.

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.

Kuanshi'yin is a Priestess of Peace. She's almost singlehandedly responsible for brokering peace in the Great Human War, though few are alive who remember it now. She has sworn her life to the service of peace and wisdom until all beings live freely and peacefully. She often mediates for rulers at war, and is always found healing the aftermath. Because of this, some believe her to be a nemesis of Anat, the war goddess, but they are actually good friends.
