Melismor Dragons are social, good-natured dragons that enjoy the shelter of forested areas. They live in close-knit family groups, burrowing deep into the earth and creating extensive, winding networks of underground burrows. While rarely seen at the surface, Melismor Dragons, when encountered, are known to be fiercely loyal and protective, yet kind when their families aren’t in any danger. These dragons are omnivorous, but most of their diet consists of plants, especially tender roots, and honey is a favored treat they’ll often bring back to their burrows to share.

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.

Lawn Chair Economy loves to build and buy chairs, specifically sturdy ones she can place on the grassy field atop the Yankee tunnel-works, where she'll pick one and recline on it. She used to have a little pile of jewels and gold, but she gradually spent them on chairs at various towns, caves, and merchant convoys. The other residents of Yankee don't need chairs, though some will come up and sit on one just to help their friend make the furniture feel useful. They say that she holds up the "lawn chair economy" all by herself with her expenditures, and that is the alias she uses when she visits an unfamiliar settlement to see what chairs the people there offer.
