Desipis Dragons are an extremely dangerous breed, synonymous with the paths of desolation they leave in their wakes. These gargantuan beasts are infamous for their innate ability to control and manipulate the minds of others, which they use to pulverize the sanities of their foes and forge false memories. This power is especially effective on the foolish, and only the strongest-willed individuals have been known to resist a Desipis’s cunning. Most who anger Desipises do not live to tell the tale. Desipis Dragons are especially feared for their uncanny power of absorbing the magic of others with the fire they breathe and converting it into the bright reserves of crystallized mana that decorate their bodies.

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.

Those who saw Oros saw the ocean. A greatness, an ancientness, a calmness. A coldness that both killed and numbed the pain. Unlike so many of her kind she spoke in gentle whispers, promising to those who answered her sweet call that she offered the way to true peace, a war to end war. Death, after all, was the holiest kindness; a sleep without fear from which none would ever awake. And she would give that blessing. She would give it to them all.

Yet not all saw the gentleness of her dream, and after a bloody conflict she was sealed away in the very waters she so reminded people of. There she remained for centuries, dreaming death, until a young boy whose parents had been lost in yet another senseless battle drew near. Her mind touched his, promising relief from all sorrow, for him and his companions, if only he would awaken her. So he did, and she took him as her prince, his strength growing swiftly alongside her own.

Together they would achieve their dream, by ending them all.
