Originating from a single species that thrived in ancient times, Xenowyrms have become an incredibly diverse breed whose appearances vary depending on their habitats. Each Xenowyrm subspecies is heavily reliant on the power of different types of mana, making them powerful magic users. Mageia, found exclusively in desert regions, are thought to be the wisest Xenowyrm subspecies. Due to their knowledge of the magi element, they are able to cast a variety of magics, including teleportation. Their beautiful yellow scutes are reflective and smooth like glass, making them very valuable to collectors.

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.

This mageia collects every one of his scales that he sheds, then strings them up into decorative hangings. The scales are arranged such that if a breeze blows through them, they clink against one another to produce a gentle tinkling. These are hung all about his home, reflecting the bright desert sun whenever they catch it.

Teleportation traps are set to prevent theft of these hangings. Anyone trying to take one without permission will find themselves locked deep within Wyndchymes' lair, to be traded as a slave in return for mana.
