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.

Alphess Chalize is the most violent and aggressive of the Xenowyrm alphas. She is also the heaviest and by far one of the greatest fighters the cave has ever seen. She and her Pyro inferiors have quickly built up a rather negative, feared reputation, their tendency to resort to fighting first and excessive use of fire earning them the name of "Furies".

The Alphess of Fire rules with terror and fury, smiting all who stand in her way with flames as hot as the sun. She has no qualms about punishing offenders, whether they be Xenowyrms, other dragons, or even Pyros. Chalize has struck fear into the hearts of her own subjects.

Other superiors of the cave look down upon Chalize's way of ruling, but they do not dare complain. Her ruthlessness will drive her to do often foolish things, but luckily she has her brawn to back her up.
