Script Dragons are named for the markings along their wings and sides that look almost like calligraphy. The patterns correspond to no known language, and are slightly different on every dragon. These dragons only develop the characteristic markings when they reach maturity, and they are fairly capable with magic once the patterns appear.

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.

Coggs, in the best Runescale tradition, sells seemingly marvelous gadgets for what ought to be ridiculously low prices. Any dragon who buys from her will find that they've purchased trash. She, of course, blames this on the carelessness of the buyers, claiming that if they'd been halfway adept, the gadget would never have broken. She's cut down on troublesome customers by improving her work slightly, so that nothing breaks until long enough after the fact that she's less likely to be blamed.
