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.

Unlike dragons who hoard precious metals and gems, Koryoko gathers high-quality paper of different makes and materials. Her eclectic collection holds various types of blank vellum, fine parchment, and even scented stationery meant for love letters. During the winter holidays, Koryoko opens up her surplus storage to the public, welcoming writers from all walks of life to present their works to be copied onto luxury paper. These workshops are most frequently visited by decorated bards and the occasional magician seeking to add pages to a grimoire, and so Koryoko feels giddiest when she is approached by children wishing to pen poems for their families, or newlyweds seeking to immortalize their wedding vows in writing. It is said that Koryoko's hoard will never run low, as many of the workshop attendees are wealthy patrons of the arts who are happy to provide the means for spreading Christmas cheer.
