Spirit Ward Dragons are a special breed that ward off evil spirits—at least, that’s what the legends say. During nighttime festivals, people love to see these dragons, because they believe that the dragons guard against evil spirits. The dragons are dark-colored, but glow with a flame-colored internal light that has an intensity that they control.

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.

Reawaken makes a big show of entering town and other human-populated areas, flapping and saying something to the vein of, "Hear! I have arrived! A guardian of good to ward agents of evil!" Those living in places he visits most often, to his disappointment, seem less and less impressed with the mighty bastion of might and morality the more he announces himself to them. Since Reawaken can't understand any of their chatter, and none have bothered to learn telepathy, he has no idea what they say of him, but certainly they highly respect him. One city even has a statue of him placed at the community center, and some of the youths have recently contributed to it by adding a conical hat and beard to his handsome visage.
