Copper Dragons are masters of stealth, slipping silently and swiftly through the forests and jungles where they live. Often hunting in groups, their prey rarely know they are being stalked until the dragon’s at their throat. In the air they are agile and skilled. Copper Dragons prize family groups, spending large amounts of time teaching their young skills. So great is their love of life and family that they will sometimes adopt orphaned dragons of other breeds to raise.

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.

Sto Lat lives on a grassy plain of dark loamy soil and cabbages, in a cave with a wall around it. It's said that a band of ice dragons left a seemingly-important rock in the plains, but Sto Lat doesn't know anything about the rock and turned it into her home. No one seemed to mind her moving in, digging into the rock, and building a wall, and certainly nobody minds her eating the surrounding cabbages, since there are so many. Sto Lat is a master of stealth, except when she sings. When she finds out it's another dragon's birthday, she bellows a song wishing them a long life. Sto Lat's idea of "long" is a hundred years, so some listeners find her song peculiar and maybe a bit insulting.
