Pargulus Pygmies can often be found tending to plants and foraging for food. They like to care for other living things, be it plant or animal, and will often leave the food from their foraging trips outside the dens of those who need it or even just those they think could use a treat. These colorful little dragons are especially attentive to anyone who might be struggling to find food themselves, such as the elderly, the sick, or the very young. Pargulus pygmies have a surprisingly large range considering their small size. They have been known to travel far and wide to find food to bring back to their friends.

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.

Pygmy dragons are the smallest category of dragons, being on the same scale as domesticated animals. They are often found around concentrated populations of dragons, relying on their larger brethren to ward away potential predators and leave scraps. As such, the majority of a pygmy’s diet is scavenged. Due to their tiny size, pygmies do not breed with larger varieties of dragons.

The Edmyn the Unprepared Memorial Item Library is located at the outskirts of civilized Galsreim, out where "Here There Be Dragons" changes from welcome to warning and rogue dragons are the least of one's concerns. The library, a place to borrow all sorts of quest-vital items, is run by two magi dragon sisters and a variety of draconic assistants.

Artifax is in charge of food, restocking travel travel rations and weeding out anything spoiled. His name might be a little on-the-nose for someone who works at a magical item library, but he isn't ashamed of his name and sees no reason to change it. Artifax has been voted Most Likely To Be Stolen, as his tastes align well enough with human ones that adventuring parties keep (unsuccessfully) trying to lure him away to be their cook.
