Guardian Dragons have large shields on the end of their tails. Although the shields appear to be heavy, they are light, yet nearly unbreakable. Guardian Dragons use their tail-shields, as well as their wings, to deflect attacks and protect others. Often, they will guard the eggs and hatchlings of a nest while others are away. They are generally peaceful, and will not retaliate unless necessary. They have no need to forage or hunt, as they are fed by those they protect.

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 Last Warning has served as the clan gatekeeper for centuries, literally groomed for the job from birth. Her maternal instincts do not blind her to the honorable—and occasionally deadly—duties of her job. Any adults attempting light conversation are generally thrown off by her monosyllabic responses. She stands guard daily, right within the cave entrance. Sould one attempt to attack Kad's clan, one shouldn't expect easy pickings after being given their last warning.
