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.

Paarici has taken it upon herself to form a complete chronicle of draconic history. Given that she believes in never relegating anything to a brief mention that can instead be expounded upon for hours on end, her work should be unreadable, but her dry wit and eye for interesting connections are engaging enough to make up for her excessive long-windedness.
