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.

Seldo comes across as a harmless, amiable wanderer content to drift through life, never asking too many questions and rarely taking too much interest in what's going on around him. This is only partially true. Seldo is good-natured and hard to provoke, yes, and he is a wanderer by nature, but he's far more interested in events and dragons than he generally lets on. He just learned early on that, if he feigns disinterest or lack of curiosity, he's far less likely to get drawn into conflicts that don't really concern him.
