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.

Luckygreen and Opalsong, as many Two-Headed Lindwurms experience, lives a life of duality and conflict. The head going by Luckygreen is a daredevil, a gambler, a dragon meant not for the meek life of the rest of the Weyr of Flame in the days after the Great War. The head called Opalsong, however, is a peace-lover and an old, calm soul, content to munch sweetleaves and give the little hatchlings quizzes to see if they're learning their lessons. Caught between these two drives, Luckygreen and Opalsong spend most days bickering and squabbling over how the hours should be spent, in rest or in play. Without their mate, Greendark and Nightopal, who always votes for quiet and calm, Luckygreen and Opalsong might never quiet down enough for anyone to get any sleep.
