Originating from a single species that thrived in ancient times, Xenowyrms have become an incredibly diverse breed whose appearances vary depending on their habitats. Each Xenowyrm subspecies is heavily reliant on the power of different types of mana, making them powerful magic users. Chronos are often considered to be the most elusive of all Xenowyrm subspecies: they live in the darkest and densest forests, far from civilization. They are masters of time magic, allowing them to manipulate the flow of time at will. It is said that Chrono lairs are protected by a field of magic that makes the minutes tick by at a slow pace for any unwanted visitors.

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.

Pystol, as this dragon is known, is one of the...more quirky dragons in the flock, even for a Chronos. He is constantly muttering about "that durned pygmy", claiming he is being victimized by said-pygmy who is constantly stealing things from his hoard, even going so far as to blame the pygmy for the fact that Xenowyrms have no legs!

As a result, he is very paranoid about his cave and hoard, with the protective enchantments that Chronos Xenowyrms are well-known for being considerably more powerful around his cave than those of his kin.

Apparently it hasn't worked, because it has become an almost daily occurrence for the dragons living nearby to be awakened by a scream of "THAT PYGMY STOLE MY -!" first thing in the morning. Thing is, none of the normal dragons have ever seen a pygmy near Pystol's cave, so they're convinced he's imagining the whole thing and probably just misplaced the "stolen" items.

The pygmies, on the other hand, keep an amused silence regarding the whole thing.
