Golden Wyverns are known for their beautiful metallic scales and rumored magical abilities. Living high in the mountains, these dragons do not believe in killing for sport or pleasure. They will hunt only when hungry and defend themselves when provoked, but will avoid killing to the best of their abilities. Golden Wyverns often mingle with other dragons of similar color and take pride in their shimmering hide.

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.

Box Office is a theatre enthusiast, and his name is a funny coincidence. Though he retired from performing on stage a long time ago, he still goes to venues around Galsreim and reviews the shows. His reviews usually place more attention in the stagecraft than those of other writers. Box Office's favorite kind of work is compiling anthologies, which he likens to a cart ride down a mountainside with no brakes, in a good way. Trying to balance the essentials with the surprises and his preferred topics with those the readers would want to see are at once a drudgery and an adventure. Few of Box Office's friends are so focused and bookish, but they enjoy reading his output. He has two or three copies of each book that he's had a wing in creating, all lined up comfortably in his room on his fanciest shelf.
