An almost strictly nocturnal breed, Ciriax Lindwyrms are especially attuned to the moons’ cycles. They spend nights patrolling the edges of their territory, aggressively fending off intruders while they feast on their prey. After two or three nights of feeding, often around the time of at least one full moon, Ciriax Lindwyrms retreat to the recesses of their cave or underground homes. These dragons make it particularly difficult to travel on nights that are well-lit by moonlight, often to an unsuspecting adventurer’s dismay.

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.

Two-headed dragons are unique enough to deserve a separate classification from ordinary dragons. They have two necks, two brains, two mouths, but one stomach and one main body. The two heads usually work together, but there are times when they will fight each other, snapping back and forth. Their unique anatomy prevents them from breeding with single-headed dragons.

From her first day of hatchlinghood, her heads, Kiopi and Riltna, have been best friends. Not really taking interest in her peers, Kiopi usually devoted her free time to playing with her sister and thinking of her during the busy hours. Kiopi didn't change as she matured; her eyes always seemed to be on Riltna. She never changed after Riltna went away, either. Neither of them saw that boulder rolling down the hill until it was right next to them. Kiopi was fortunate enough to be the head that was further away from the boulder, which granted her more time to pull away. Riltna wasn't so fortunate.

Even to this day, the luckier sister beams all her attention down on her other half. She constantly watches the hapless creature as it lies motionlessly at her feet, nudging it from time to time. She wonders if the elongated growth on her right side will ever awaken as her precious Riltna.

Kiopi is an emotionally stunted dragon.
