Seasonal Dragons take on the characteristics of the season during which they are born. Thus, eggs that are laid in spring match the pink flowers and green buds of spring, and those that are laid in the summer grow to depict the bright green of the forest trees and the yellow of the sun. Eggs laid in autumn display the bright colors of leaves falling from trees, and those that are laid during winter take on the appearance of the icy snow.

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.

Every city with an eye to attracting travelers has at least one—a shop where no self-respecting resident would set foot, but that no visitor would dare to miss. Dragontown has Jasbet's Marvels, a monument to all things garish, tacky, and overpriced. Everything Jasbet sells is dragon-made, with the exception of the small glass globes (each containing a picture of some Dragontown landmark and small particles that resemble snow) that occasionally show up on the shelves as if dropped there by some embarrassed wizard, and these are popular enough that she's willing to lie about their origins. Despite a certain similarity in names, Jasbet always makes it clear that her shop serves a completely different audience than Xywin's. Xywin's Treasures is for the discerning customer with time to spend and an eye for the unusual, while her shop is for those wanting to pick up some small souvenir before they leave (and her way with words means that few customers leave without buying something).
