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. Chronos are often considered to be the most elusive of all Xenowyrm subspecies: they live in the darkest and densest forests, far from civilization. They are masters of time magic, allowing them to manipulate the flow of time at will. It is said that Chrono lairs are protected by a field of magic that makes the minutes tick by at a slow pace for any unwanted visitors.

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.

The Taking of a Toast and Tea is a bit of an outlier among his family, quiet and reserved. He does his duties maintaining the clock-tower when called on and quietly runs a little coffeehouse. He doesn't socialize with the other dragons, nor does he seem to want to. Most dragons ignore him except when ordering their drinks.

Some paranoid rumours have arisen about Toast eavesdropping on dragons and knowing all of everyone's secrets, but even if it is true, it is highly unlikely he will ever share them with anyone.
