Script Dragons are named for the markings along their wings and sides that look almost like calligraphy. The patterns correspond to no known language, and are slightly different on every dragon. These dragons only develop the characteristic markings when they reach maturity, and they are fairly capable with magic once the patterns appear.

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.

Jasrit had the necessary purity of bloodline to teach at the Purefire Academy, to her delight. Once accepted, she happily divided her time between poking holes in the egos of those unqualified to teach and working subversive messages into her lessons. Those in charge still haven't figured out that she finds all of the talk about proper bloodlines to be utter nonsense.
