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.

Sifku lives on a stretch of beach that's short on treasure, but well-stocked with beautiful shells. She gathers the nicest to sell to tourists and gets most of her business from humans, as her wings can take her to places they can't easily reach. What Sifku can't understand is why humans stammer when they describe what she does, as if there's something wrong with being a dragon entrepreneur. She sells sea shells by the sea shore; it's not like there's anything shameful about it.
