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.

When the elusive and much esteemed prize dragons come to mind, a few other things come with them. Images of wealth, power, prestige... but certainly not spaghetti! Yet spaghetti (and other tasty shapes, sizes, and slices of pasta) are what's predominate when this dragon's in town, Basil having a knack for the preparing of noodles and especially for the creation of the tasty sauces that go with them. His very favorite sauce--a sumptuous, salty sweet blend of tomato, beef, onion, pepperoni, and of course basil--has earned him the attention and adoration of common folk and critics alike, with the communal dinners he hosts every Sunday receiving whole crowds of attendees.
