Originating from a single species that thrived in ancient times, Xenowyrms have become an incredibly diverse breed whose appearances vary depending on their habitats. Each Xenowyrm subspecies is heavily reliant on the power of different types of mana, making them powerful magic users. Pyros are easily the heaviest of all Xenowyrm subspecies and they use their weight to their advantage. If scorching their foes with flames doesn’t finish them off, Pyros will use the weight of their bodies for sheer crushing power. They create their lairs solely in volcanic regions, where lava and billowing flames are the land’s most prominent features.

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.

One day as he journeyed across the land, a Magi dragon suddenly hailed him. In her claws was a small, wingless hatchling. She implored him to take the Magi hatchling with him, as her own clan was undergoing a massive coup orchestrated by the clan leaders' daughter- this particular hatchling's eldest sister. As the last child of the old leaders, he was in great danger. Acquiescing, Scabbard took the young dragon with the intent of making him his protegee in magic. As a solitary Xenowyrm, Scabbard only communicates with his protegee alone, and strictly keeps out of clan affairs.
