Tri-Horn Wyverns are a mountainous species, living in high altitude areas among rocks and snow. The rough and rugged climate has bred a tough and hardened species, prepared to do battle with both the elements and other creatures. Their most distinctive feature is the three-horned crest mounted upon their head, for which they were named; these toughened spikes are powerful weapons, used to battle against predators, prey and fellow Tri-Horn Wyverns. Both males and females of this species fight for territory and resources, and wear scars with pride. However, Tri-Horn wyverns have a soft side beneath their many spikes. They work in loyal packs, of which they are deeply protective; if one can gain their trust, Tri-Horn wyverns can be powerful allies through the mountains.

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.

Real name Eduard, Iron Chancellor happily goes by his nickname. Passionate, charismatic, and manipulative, he has plans that have backup plans that have backup plans, and he tries to get involved with as many important, high-level matters as he can. That is how he became a chancellor in the first place, through careful planning. His ruthless practicality earned him the "Iron" part of his name. Iron Chancellor survived an attempt on his life, when his unsuccessful killer fired five times at him—every shot hit, though none of the bolts caused major injuries. He was able to grab and wrestle the assailant to the ground, and once back on his feet, he turned to the gathered passersby, coolly announced, "Iron. Chancellor.", and walked home.
