Stone Dragons have a tough outer covering made of a stone-like material. They eat rocks, using the minerals they contain for nourishment and to keep up their stone outer shell. They rarely move, and are the heaviest of all types of dragons. Although they have wings, indicating flight ability, no one has ever seen a stone dragon flying.

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.

The lie soon became horrible truth; she was in the middle of a rune circle of her comrade's creation, the one who had helped and joked with her for so long telling her that she had to die, and be reborn as undead, so that she could never lose her to true death. It was then that Cainis--eldest of the five, and her greatest counselor--stormed in, roaring, chasing away the traitor and saving the youngest, the one so much like a daughter to him... but after the shock of that betrayal, she would never be the same again.
