Cloudplume Dragons are as warm and friendly as they look. Living in groups of ten to twenty, these dragons make their home in snowy mountains, where their white feathers fit right in with the environment. During their waking hours, they spread out to fly all over the mountains and nearby plains and forests, collecting mana, exploring, and greeting whoever they happen to meet. When they need to rest, they return to the snowy slopes and curl up together. While a single Cloudplume can blast an air breath at attackers to make their escape, a group of Cloudplumes will stick close, feathers puffed up and the large feathers on their backs raised high and quivering, becoming one giant, bristling mass to intimidate the attacker away from their home. Smaller creatures—and some not so small—often get in between the resting dragons for warmth and protection, and the Cloudplumes welcome such guests. During summertime, these dragons fly higher up to the mountaintops where the air stays cool, mingling with the clouds.

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.

Bock Coe White is one of the overseers of the Bauen Multipurpose Building's ground floor. His area is the southwest quadrant, where he leases space for different dragons and organizations and arranges decorations. His favored forms of decor are abstract drawings and solid lines, although the other three overseers are starting to influence him with their likes. One of the most popular areas of 1F-SE is the "bar", which isn't really a bar but has a lot of features Bock Coe White thinks bars have. There are barrels of alcohol, snack foods, a shiny counter, and a rag to wipe the counter always in reach. The beer garden in the center of the area is a raised circle of soil where some of the barley and corn used to make beer is grown. Though there's the word "beer" in there, Bock Coe White has the bartenders remind patrons that they should not pour beer into the beer garden.
