Holiday dragons are a very mysterious breed. They are only seen during winter, and even then it is hard to catch a glimpse of one. They are responsible for the general cheer that spreads during the holidays. In essence, they are the “Spirits of Winter.”

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.

Wizard Drin lives in a black stone tower with his assistant and the many monsters he creates. He has a strange and surprising menagerie, but his prized monster is a zombie named Grogenstein. Wizard Drin is an intensely curious dragon, and he has the smarts to have secured land of his own without pledging to serve brood, pack, nor lair. It requires delicate political maneuvering to maintain his position, but he enjoys the challenge as much as his independence. Throughout the year, Wizard Drin and his monstrous helpers create toys for the hatchlings living in the area. He delivers these gifts during the longest night of the year with the help of Grandfather Frost. Their relationship is rocky because Wizard Drin tries to steal from him every few years or so; it isn't gold nor jewels nor magic scrolls that the Wizard wants from him, but the heart of his icy mate, Wisker.
