Failed attempts to experiment with magic often result in transforming dragons into these hellish creatures. They are extremely dangerous, and will mindlessly kill any living creature without regard to friend or foe.

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.

Karaliene looks in the mirror every day and is disgusted with what she sees. Once a beautiful Silver, Karaliene was reduced to a shambling corpse on a dark October evening. Once the possessor of a shimmering silvery hide, now she only has skin so rotten no mate will come within feet of her. She hates her stumbling stagger and the useless fleshy lumps she was given in exchange for her silver scales. She hates the way the villages look at her and shake their heads, as though she was something to be pitied. But she is, now. She is pitiful.
