Harvest Dragons are a large, flightless breed most often found in heavily forested mountains. Normally shy, these omnivorous dragons keep to themselves in remote regions, but in the fall they descend from their high territory to search for food—and lots of it. During the autumn months, harvest dragons will eat whatever they can find, from large and small animals to nuts and fruit. In the winter they retreat into large caves and hibernate until spring, living off the fat they have built up.

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.

A somewhat weak harvest, Circumscribe lives and works at a documents repository, helping the collection master keep track of materials and move them as needed. He's one of few adult dragons working there. Most of the hatchlings don't work, but the stout, gap-toothed master apparently cares for them because he likes cute things. It's no secret that Circumscribe has caligenes in his family—his parents even visit sometimes—but he insists that he has none of a caligene's moldering magic. Long-time visitors and employees are confident about that, though the tales passed around are useful for deterring some visitors from making trouble. Due to his harvest-ness, Circumscribe takes a roughly three-months-long holiday every year so he can travel around and eat, and then hibernate. The repository's side room is also his sleeping area. He's thankful that everyone is fine with him conking out for months in the safety of the repository.
