Magi Dragons are, as their name suggests, primarily magic users. They rarely use physical forms of attack. They eat anything they can kill, which is almost everything. They won’t kill unprovoked except when hunting, although they may kill humans if in danger. Their strong magic makes them one of the most feared breeds of 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.

The surname Goldenmage is reserved for the most talented magi dragons, and Nora Goldenmage is no exception to this rule.  She only needs to see a spell once to remember it forever after, and she's an expert at combining existing spells to form something new.  Nora could easily be the Goldenmage Assembly's most skilled teacher, and many of the magi dragons there keep asking her to be their research partner.  She keeps declining all such offers, though, for she prefers to travel.  Nora is still part of the Goldenmage Assembly, though—she's one of the most active recruiters, and when visiting her mate Elciar in Dragontown will keep Goldenmage Assembly trainees staying there from getting into too much trouble.
