Perhaps among the most venerated of dragon breeds is the Zyumorph, a breed whose selfless heroism and strong moral compass are nearly unparalleled by other dragons. Zyumorphs have an innate urge to fend off wrongdoing, and as such, are often sought after in times of peril. Although they are independently quite capable fighters, it is said that their true might is not unlocked until all six Zyumorphs are brought together in times of great duress.

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.

Mangekyo patrols the volcanos that are commonly harvested for glass and stone, driving away evil sorcerers and other practitioners of forbidden magic who would use the volcanoes for profane rituals. To assist him with his duties, Mangekyo has embedded fragments of mana crystals around the bases of the more powerful volcanoes, which will resonate if approached by individuals who possess an affinity with the element of death. Naturally wary of social interaction, Mangekyo is rarely seen by those who travel the volcanic lands in peace.
