Scimitar-wing Wyverns are a small breed, eating mainly birds and small vertebrates; as such, they lack the large teeth and heavy claws of their larger cousins. They are far from defenseless, however, and are named for the blade-like growth that forms over the first digit of their wings. The wyverns use these blades to defend themselves from any attacker. Their blades are quite strong and can cut through almost any scale or hide.

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.

MlsNGNO. has been studying duplication magic, and has developed a potent spell to duplicate items, though it is often problematic and does not duplicate what anyone wants to duplicate. A client who comes to MlsNGNO. must have at least six different sorts of items on their person, and it is the sixth item that the copying spell effects. That item gets copied until the individual has a hundred and twenty-eight items of that type—even if, rather than the golden cup the customer was trying to duplicate, the sixth item proves to be a wad of lint. The spell also mangles records of achievements made by the person seeking item duplication, as Stickwaterballet found out after asking MlsNGNO. to clone a generic response-to-fanmail letter and discovered the trophy from her last tournament now claims to have been won by an imaginary team whose gibberish name changes depending on the location of the trophy. MlsNGNO. is too amused by these side-effects to bother improving her spell any further.
