Cassare Dragons are known for their magic-deadening abilities. Though not a conscious ability, a large field surrounds the dragon through which magic is passively nullified. This field is strongest near the dragon itself, and falls off with distance. The absence of magic often makes other creatures avoid them, though some will have the opposite reaction and seek refuge instead. It has also caused them to be hunted, as though the field is severely weakened once dead, their bones and scales retain some of the effect. Possessing such an item is considered a necessity by those who expect to face hostile magic.

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.

Jinnhae Hrava is an Elder Dragon of her breed. She is the first and most powerful of her lineage, and the magic void that she radiates spreads over several acres of land and sky. Ironically, Jinnhae found love in Valruin Hravi, a Magi Dragon whose power was equally great. But alas, they could not be, such an act was forbidden, for it was simply impractical and ridiculous to have both of their powers nullified whenever they meet, something that would happen a lot if they were to be mates. Valruin and Jinnhae simply had to accept the fact that their breeds were incompatible.

Even so, the two secretly met and sired a pair of children by the names of Jinn'Vyr and Val'Yrae, whose existence was a symbol of their forbidden, undying, eternal love.

Jinnhae forswore any other mates and spent the rest of her life alone. But every leap year, on the last day of February, Jinnhae and Valruin would meet each other on the Bridge of Nightingales for a few bittersweet moments.
