Terrae Dragons are primarily herbivores who prefer to eat from the tops of trees. However, due to their massive size, they must rely on small, specialized scales to absorb and convert energy from the sun. Since they live in tightly-knit groups, this form of energy absorption helps preserve the forests in which these dragons reside.

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.

Xavian is a gentle giant. He is usually content to spend a day lazily relaxing the sun. Occasionally Xavian thinks he should try to do more with his life. When these strange thoughts cross his mind, Xavian's normal response is to feel guilty for a moment or two, then slowly reach up and grab another leaf from the closest  tree. After all, there is always tomorrow to change the world.
