Named after their cloudy, ashen scales, Ash Dragons are large, gentle beasts, although their faces can give unaccustomed folk a fright. Their tough scales and sheer size make them infrequent attack targets, traits that explain why pygmy dragons and other small dragon breeds can often be seen riding on their backs, hiding amongst their large spiked scales. Though they tend to be mostly quiet, Ash dragons have a low, deep roar that is typically only used to threaten or call to others of their kind.

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.

Everywhere Ash To Do It went, she found that humans and pygmies would climb onto her back and ride around. She spent many years trying to find a way to take advantage of her popularity, and eventually discovered the perfect solution: coffee. She put a table on her back, tied a coffee machine around her neck like a pendant, and became an official Star Doe's Coffee location. Now, the multitudes who hitch a ride on her back will buy a cup of their favourite brew. She has made a good amount of shards from her mobile business and a few dragons who have decided to attempt the impossible—to visit every Star Doe's location on Valkemare—have sought her out. She is notoriously one of the hardest locations to visit simply because she doesn't stay put. She says she puts the "joe" in "journey" which tends to confuse those who use the common alphabet rather than dacrune.
