Spirit Ward Dragons are a special breed that ward off evil spirits—at least, that’s what the legends say. During nighttime festivals, people love to see these dragons, because they believe that the dragons guard against evil spirits. The dragons are dark-colored, but glow with a flame-colored internal light that has an intensity that they control.

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.

His real name, if he possesses one, is unknown, but people of Millipitas all address him He-Who-Gave-Us-Pants. The original denizens who first met him are long dead, survived by their great-great-great-grandchildren, so over time, the stories of his deeds have evolved. Many details are forgotten or misremembered or even made up. Still, their venerable spirit ward is as gallant and kind as he was two centuries ago. Whenever he pays a visit to Millipitas, everyone puts on their pants to meet him.
