Common Pygmies are sweet in temperament and palate. They spend a fair amount of time foraging for and scavenging food but have a particular fondness for sweet tasting treats, such as honey. When pickings are slim, they can hunt songbirds and small mammals. Common Pygmies stay in large groups, migrating alongside their food supply. Although capable of the same basic vocal sounds of most other dragons, Common Pygmies prefer to communicate through body language. It is perhaps no surprise, then, that Common Pygmy hatchlings are rather affectionate.

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.

Pygmy dragons are the smallest category of dragons, being on the same scale as domesticated animals. They are often found around concentrated populations of dragons, relying on their larger brethren to ward away potential predators and leave scraps. As such, the majority of a pygmy’s diet is scavenged. Due to their tiny size, pygmies do not breed with larger varieties of dragons.

Leetle Cosmos is the guardian of a secret cave deep within her clan's territory. Nobody, apart from the cave's protectors, Whyte the clan leader and the cave mistress knows the location of this cave, but everyone is aware of its existence.

Inside this small and secluded cave grows quartz with amazing powers. Anyone who possesses one of these rare stones will be granted an alarming increase of power, making them highly coveted by power hungry sorcerers, warriors and dragons.  

In order to keep the peace and prevent catastrophe or war from gripping the land, the location of the quartz's origins remains hidden. Cosmos, slightly smaller than most adult pygmy dragons, is the only one small enough to enter the cave and retrieve the precious stones.
