Mint colored dragons are the most peaceful of all dragons; they only eat plants unless they scavenge meat from an already dead animal. They also have no ways to attack others or defend themselves. They are much smaller than other forms of dragons since they only double in size when they mature. Mint dragons are unable to use magic and cannot fly since they lack wings. Their looks have given rise to the common insult of calling dragons “large lizards.”

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.

As one among many dragons in his clan—most of them stronger, more agressive, and more able in the manipulation of mana—Bin has learned long ago that it's virtually impossible for a mere Mint dragon to accumulate enough gold and jewels for a proper dragon hoard. So Bin decided to collect none of those unachievable goods but rather something closer to his own heart. At first things weren't easy as the Magis and the Bloodscales and even the human Herk all love books and writing as well, but Bin didn't give up. From his first few misprints and scraps and notes a truly impressive mount of paper grew and after befriending the lovely Miss Terry he now even calls an original manuscript of one of her novels his own.

Paper makes for a far softer bed than coins and Bin never lacks reading material when he snuggles himself in to sleep.
