Named after their cloudy, ashen scales, Ash Dragons are large, gentle beasts, although their faces can give unaccustomed folk a fright. Their tough scales and sheer size make them infrequent attack targets, traits that explain why pygmy dragons and other small dragon breeds can often be seen riding on their backs, hiding amongst their large spiked scales. Though they tend to be mostly quiet, Ash dragons have a low, deep roar that is typically only used to threaten or call to others of their kind.

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.

YOBEt is a dealer at Fate's Nightmare, the casino owned by Happenchance. While at work he remains as stoic as a grave dragon, but rumour has it he counts cards so that he always knows when a player is cheating. Some say he even uses his own sleight-of-hand to take high cards that a cheater intends to slip into his hand and replace them, or deal them impressive hands that he pairs with an even better deal to a non-cheater. Of course, the only one who would know about this is one who attempts to cheat while gambling, which would make them untrustworthy sources. Still, amateur players often prefer to play at YOBEt's table because of the protection he potentially provides against unfair play. When off-duty, he tends to stay out of Nworset's Love Song district.
