Cavern Lurker Dragons are nocturnal ambush predators. Although small, they are very aggressive and will attack anything weak enough to be overpowered. Their preferred method of hunting is to lie in wait in a cave, burrow, or other small, enclosed space; when any potential prey passes they will lunge out to grab hold of the unsuspecting victim and drag it back into the lair. Cavern Lurkers have an odd aversion to sunlight and almost never venture out during the day. More commonly sighted are the odd piles of bones they stack near the entrance to their dens. Their mating call is a low-pitched bumping noise.

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.

In a land with high magics and powerful dragons, the gift of prophecy is not uncommon especially among Magi dragons and other powerful spell casters. So when the legendary Madame Zena arrived with her travelling entourage, Vamim took the opportunity to learn about her vast, important, world-shaking destiny.

"Always bring a banana to a party."

These strange cryptic words confused Vamim for quite a while. Should she consider this a metaphor, a health tip—no surely this was meant as a pointer towards a great destiny. For years and decades Vamim never left the house without a banana and dozens of times the fruit has proven a last minute rescue: a missing ingredient in fruit salad, a quick way to soothe a crying hatchling, a way to bait a Tangar out of hiding, a bribe for a Sweetling dragon and many things more. Vamim's (and the banana's) greatest hour occurred though, when she used its peel to fell a dangerous dragon slaying knight who attacked a harmless Halloween party.
