Desipis Dragons are an extremely dangerous breed, synonymous with the paths of desolation they leave in their wakes. These gargantuan beasts are infamous for their innate ability to control and manipulate the minds of others, which they use to pulverize the sanities of their foes and forge false memories. This power is especially effective on the foolish, and only the strongest-willed individuals have been known to resist a Desipis’s cunning. Most who anger Desipises do not live to tell the tale. Desipis Dragons are especially feared for their uncanny power of absorbing the magic of others with the fire they breathe and converting it into the bright reserves of crystallized mana that decorate their bodies.

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.

Just a couple of decades ago, Navaar was the chosen guard of Aquila. The Despisis dragoness was more than capable of defending herself against most threats, but Navaar was actually trained as a fighter and could more easily protect her. And more important than that, her position demanded a personal guard. Navaar was never too happy with his boss, but when she destroyed the mind of the dragoness he had intended as his mate he swore revenge.

Ever since that day Navaar has trained and honed his abilities, hoping to one day grow strong enough to do unto Aquila as she had done unto his poor Beloved.
