Stone Dragons have a tough outer covering made of a stone-like material. They eat rocks, using the minerals they contain for nourishment and to keep up their stone outer shell. They rarely move, and are the heaviest of all types of dragons. Although they have wings, indicating flight ability, no one has ever seen a stone dragon flying.

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.

Of all the mountains in the world, the tallest and most impressive is Mauna Kea in Hawaii, rising 10,200 meters from the ocean floor--while leading scientists attribute this unique mountain to region-specific plate movements, Hawaiian elders know the truth: At the beginning of human inhabitance of the islands, generations past, it was said a guardian spirit followed the first inhabitants of the islands on their boats, and has watched over Hawaii since; never moving, never leaving, and immense in its size--some say that Hawaiians whose blood is as old as the first generations are able to hear the breathing of this colossal guardian.
