Magi Dragons are, as their name suggests, primarily magic users. They rarely use physical forms of attack. They eat anything they can kill, which is almost everything. They won’t kill unprovoked except when hunting, although they may kill humans if in danger. Their strong magic makes them one of the most feared breeds of dragons.

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.

Padeki is the primary dragon in charge of food preparation at the Goldenmage Assembly. He'd like to become a chef (a rather unusual occupation for a dragon), but the demands of his job are keeping him from fully realizing his dream. Even though all but a few of the Goldenmage Assembly's residents are perfectly capable of hunting for themselves, the majority choose to focus on their studies, so keeping them fed takes up almost all of Padeki's time. He has a stack of recipes from his human friends at nearby Dragontown, but doesn't have the time or the resources to spare to try any of them out. A few apprentices have tried to help reduce Padeki's workload through magic, but he's always politely turned them down, since he's seen the aftermath of more than a few student experiments gone awry and has no interest in his kitchen becoming a disaster area.
