Stone Dragons have a tough outer covering made of a stone-like material. They eat rocks, using the minerals they contain for nourishment and to keep up their stone outer shell. They rarely move, and are the heaviest of all types of dragons. Although they have wings, indicating flight ability, no one has ever seen a stone dragon flying.

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.

The best way to describe Hyacith is cold. She pulls her weight in the Ruda Clan, but she is completely uninterested in forming relationships with her clan mates. Most attempts to interact with her are met with disinterest or are utterly ignored. The males, for reasons unknown, found this apathy incredibly attractive and for a while, Hyacith could not turn her head without coming face to face with a suitor hoping to melt her icy heart. All of them were rejected, even the clan leader, Alexandros the Unmoving. The males have since lost their boyish interest in her and found other mates. Hyacith, however, has yet to find a male that she likes.
