Desipis Dragons are an extremely dangerous breed, synonymous with the paths of desolation they leave in their wakes. These gargantuan beasts are infamous for their innate ability to control and manipulate the minds of others, which they use to pulverize the sanities of their foes and forge false memories. This power is especially effective on the foolish, and only the strongest-willed individuals have been known to resist a Desipis’s cunning. Most who anger Desipises do not live to tell the tale. Desipis Dragons are especially feared for their uncanny power of absorbing the magic of others with the fire they breathe and converting it into the bright reserves of crystallized mana that decorate their bodies.

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.

Upon maturation, a set of special armor was designed for Phantom, which was to be laid with gemstones blessed to restrain his magical powers in order to make him non-dangerous. However, this clever beast broke into the armory and stole the armor before it could be blessed, making off with it into the forests where he instead cursed the stones with dark energies to enhance his magic. Now exceedingly powerful, he haunts his Clan from the shadows, using the extra magic offered by the stones to conceal his location and remain hidden from authorities. Many are killed or raided by this notorious thief, but sightings of him are rarely ever reported due to his memory-altering capabilities, making him remarkably difficult to record or track down despite his near-constant crimes.
