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. Pharos are an aloof and majestic Xenowyrm that is most often seen gliding through the shimmering skies over the desert. Their gleaming scales catch and reflect the light in a most pleasing manner, and many attempt to find their valuable fallen scales around their lofty desert mountain perches. While they don’t seek out attention or companionship, those seeking the knowledge of a Pharos may find themself bestowed with decidedly unconventional wisdom.

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.

Proceedings is one of the less-respected members of his cohort-group the Hrash Erjares, despite the respect his breed usually garners. He is shorter and weedier than the average pharos xenowyrm, which is noticeable even from afar, though he doesn't seem bothered at all about it. He's highly proficient in magical spells and the elemental languages, but his focuses are mostly sneaky stuff, with a skillset that lies in infiltration, illusions, stabbing people in the back, occasionally stabbing people in the front, and flying away to find another opportunity to stab. And he likes to look bright and graceful doing it. That sneakiness is seen as dishonorable by the others, who much prefer direct confrontations and honesty.
