Caligene Dragons have long been considered omens of death—reinforced by the skeletal markings on their bodies. They exert a malignant force on the world around them, causing other living things to slowly waste away in their presence. Caligenes favor the seasons of summer and autumn, disappearing entirely from the forests they inhabit during winter and spring. These malevolent dragons are physically weak, though this is countered by their natural stealthiness and alarming speed—enabling them to close in on large targets quickly and silently to create ambushes from which prey cannot escape.

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.

Authoritarian Blindness is a wielder of magic and loves using it for many, many things, to the point many fellow magicians accuse her of wasting mana. They say when all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. And when all you have is magic, everything... uh... Well, if she were good at words, she would be able to find an analogy, but she doesn't really bother with languages other than the elemental languages used in spellcasting. Her favorite spells to study and improve on involve making things fall apart, which some dragons say is redundant with her natural ability, but that's not true. Her aura alone cannot demolish buildings, disassemble furniture, or untie shoes.
