Cassare Dragons are known for their magic-deadening abilities. Though not a conscious ability, a large field surrounds the dragon through which magic is passively nullified. This field is strongest near the dragon itself, and falls off with distance. The absence of magic often makes other creatures avoid them, though some will have the opposite reaction and seek refuge instead. It has also caused them to be hunted, as though the field is severely weakened once dead, their bones and scales retain some of the effect. Possessing such an item is considered a necessity by those who expect to face hostile magic.

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.

Paladin is a rather lonely dragon. Due to her abilities, most dragons have to be far away from her in order for their magic to work. She is often told to leave the cave when the magi dragons are doing their work, or when any other feats of magic are being performed. This has led her to be a bit anti-social and withdrawn, usually choosing to interact only with her nest-mates Glingal and Bard. Paladin is extremely loyal to her friends and clan mates, and would give her life for them in a heartbeat. Despite living a lonely life because of her powers, she uses them to her advantage in battle, rendering her enemies' hostile magic useless.
