Failed attempts to experiment with magic often result in transforming dragons into these hellish creatures. They are extremely dangerous, and will mindlessly kill any living creature without regard to friend or foe.

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.

Once upon a time, there was a Guardian who promised his dragon clan that he would defend them in life or death. One day, the Guardian fought a tremendous battle with many foes. He vanquished his enemies but succumbed to his wounds. The next night, scavengers thought that since the Guardian was gone that they could raid the dragonhold at will but the Guardian rose and defended his home again. Even Death could not stop him from fulfilling his vow.
