Nexus Dragons are massive, volatile beasts surging with magical power. Each half of a Nexus Dragon’s body is infused with fire or ice mana, and it is believed that the unstable nature of these paired elements drives the dragon mad as it grows in size and strength. They are strict carnivores, preferring to feed on dragons and other creatures that naturally possess magic in order to bolster their own stores. As Nexus Dragons age, fire and ice mana crystals grow all over their bodies, enhancing both their power and viciousness.

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.

Two-headed dragons are unique enough to deserve a separate classification from ordinary dragons. They have two necks, two brains, two mouths, but one stomach and one main body. The two heads usually work together, but there are times when they will fight each other, snapping back and forth. Their unique anatomy prevents them from breeding with single-headed dragons.

"Kept under bounds of a cassare,

The force unseen still

Had barely scratched the surface

Of a sea of melting and decaying flesh.

The power of the sea

Was greater than

Those bounds.

The dogwood tree

Was to bloom once more.

In a world of undying betrayal

With even the bravest

Without even an ounce of cowardice

Fell to the ground with a thud.

The world shook,

And the greater good shook back

With a force that drove

Evil to the two moons.

The city which had long lost its luster

Seemed rigid and yet so fragile

The dogwood blossoms swayed from the good

To kill the dead and dying bad."

The young sapphire finished her poem, asking Cherry if it was accurate.

"Oh, Jade, it's as if you were there. The great war was a terrible thing." Cherry noted, looking down. "I still, even after the war, have to consume magic possessing dragons. Maybe we're the only Nexi that haven't lost their heads trying to defy this urge."

She looked slightly exhausted, as if she were thinking of the dead past.
