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.

If even half of the rumors about Gallifrey Weyr were true, it was a place of wonders, its inhabitants capable of feats of magic beyond the reach of most ordinary dragons.  Gallifrey Weyr perished long ago, though, gone in a blaze of glory along with every dragon living there.  Timelord (his real name remains a mystery) is one of the last survivors, as he was traveling at the time, and now wanders the world with only the occasional companion for company.  As his name suggests, he can travel into the past or future, though never to the time of his weyr's destruction.  Kind, impulsive, and often maddeningly enigmatic, Timelord has been acquiring an increasingly impressive reputation wherever he travels.
