Bright-Breasted Wyverns are a breed of dragon easily recognized by their bright red markings. They are a small breed, only the size of a full-grown man. However, they have developed poisonous barbs on their feet to make up for their size. Their coloration is used to warn off potential predators of the danger, and is also used to attract mates. They are very social, and can often be seen preening in large groups.

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.

Mrs Jewls lives in a small grove that contains a single, very tall tree. There were supposed to be 30 short trees, but there was some confusion, and the grower said he was very sorry. Mrs Jewls shares the tree with a bunch of monkeys, who are very cute but difficult to teach. She hates dead rats more than anything and rightly so because somehow, dead rats do manage to sneak onto the tree.
