Pryanost Lindwyrms use their heightened sense of smell to search for their favorite foods, which range from roots to tree bark that share characteristic strong, warm flavors. Though generally elusive, they are often spotted in the winter when the scents of mulled cider and spiced cookies draw them into towns and villages. Kind folks who leave out a bowl of cider and a plate of pretty iced cookies overnight may wake to find the delectable gift gone and soft tufts of fur left in its place. Clothes woven of this fur carry the gentle scent of wintry spices and always keep those who wear them cozy no matter how cold it is. Pryanost Lindwyrms use their fast-shedding fur to line their nests, keeping their eggs safe and warm.

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.

Located high up a remote mountain and guarded by frostbite and ice dragons, the Snowfall Assembly is only stumbled across by the deeply determined or desperately lost. Even if the resident solstice takes pity on a lost traveler, they must still prove their worth to the Council of Winter. Anyone allowed to stay will become an expert in all forms of magic related to cold or winter.

Jyfedden spends particularly dull Council of Winter meetings knitting his shed tufts of fur into mittens, tailtip covers, and ear warmers for rescued travelers. Anyone she particularly likes might also find a tiny felted creature tucked into their traveling pack.
