An almost strictly nocturnal breed, Ciriax Lindwyrms are especially attuned to the moons’ cycles. They spend nights patrolling the edges of their territory, aggressively fending off intruders while they feast on their prey. After two or three nights of feeding, often around the time of at least one full moon, Ciriax Lindwyrms retreat to the recesses of their cave or underground homes. These dragons make it particularly difficult to travel on nights that are well-lit by moonlight, often to an unsuspecting adventurer’s dismay.

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.

Two-headed dragons are unique enough to deserve a separate classification from ordinary dragons. They have two necks, two brains, two mouths, but one stomach and one main body. The two heads usually work together, but there are times when they will fight each other, snapping back and forth. Their unique anatomy prevents them from breeding with single-headed dragons.

There was once a story of a man, one who carried his pickaxe out to work every day and came back whistling a familiar tune. His love waited at home, with her babe upon her breast and her heart in her throat, growing anxious with every second that passed. And every night the man returned home, his singing increasing in volume once he caught sight of his beloved wife and precious child.

The story is told throughout the kingdom; once a romantic, heartfelt tale, but now grown into a lament of woe. For one day the man did not return; one day his head hung from the trees above as his wife waited excitedly, only to be greeted with the roaring of a rampaging dragon. The dragon hustled through the trees with an effortless stroke of his tail, and with two smothering breaths the twin dragonheads set the place on fire, burning everything in sight to ashes. Now a desolate field plagued by a wild dragon, the citizens named the monstrous beast after the very two people he had killed.
