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. Pyros are easily the heaviest of all Xenowyrm subspecies and they use their weight to their advantage. If scorching their foes with flames doesn’t finish them off, Pyros will use the weight of their bodies for sheer crushing power. They create their lairs solely in volcanic regions, where lava and billowing flames are the land’s most prominent features.

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.

Fiercely possessive and with a fiery disposition to match, Kya is tasked with watching over a natural spring in the Sylvain clan's territory. While far from cold, the water from the spring is very clean thanks to the volcanic heat boiling away germs, as well as purification enchantments in place using mana crystals set around the rim of the water source. Very few other dragons know that the spring is also a place for emergency healings, as there is a repository of life mana located at the bottom. Kya keeps away pests and predators, and bars entrance to those who may attempt to sabotage the area, knowing that her duty may be responsible for saving another dragon's life later on.
