Grave Dragons are not named for their connections to death or burial, but for the grave expression on their faces. This strange expression is used as a defense mechanism that causes fits of panic and terror in potential predators. Since they only eat ash and charcoal, they do not hunt. Grave Dragons are powerful fire-breathers and have been known to burn down forests and villages alike to make meals. It is believed that the markings on each Grave Dragon’s wings are the faces of those who have lost their lives in fires started by that dragon.

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.

Jolfur is the strongest of this Grave Dragon brood. He often meditates and is very active in keeping himself fit and healthy. He has been known to defeat dragons, even those that have been known to prey against them. He does not seek out battles; often he watches over the more boisterous Kobbin, who has been known to get himself in too deep at times. He expects that Kobbin will become a great dragon one day but is holding himself back by refusing to take himself seriously. Jolfur is respected but he is familiar with his own limits.
