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.

Rocky has a problem. A serious problem, especially for a pyro dragon. His stunning orange flames, capable of razing forests and searing enemies, are his greatest nightmare, for it turns out a rare genetic condition has caused his own scales to be flammable. Thus, whenever Rocky sets out to raze those forests or sear those enemies, he invariably ends up setting himself on fire as well. His countless trips to the healing dragons have made him rethink this whole pyromaniac image. Perhaps he'd be better off as a firefighter, or a camp counselor, or maybe even a ballerina; his acrobatic skills are pretty prodigious, after all.
