Geode Dragons are closely related to Stone dragons. They are covered in a hard stone-like material as well as beautiful crystal. Their wings are entirely useless for flight, but they help attract mates. The dragons with the most brilliant and colorful crystals are more likely to mate.

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.

Qwer T Uiop is a stonemason whose weyr is carved into a mountainside a few miles north of a large city. He is the most common visitor to Brickarious's quarry, often heading out alongside Melnath to help carry the builder's huge orders. Mostly, Quer's works are sculptures, but he often finds himself with the more unpleasant task of carving tombstones for the dead. The primary cause of death among the city's inhabitants is in battles against the kingdom directly south of the city, whose inhabitants have been at war with the dragons for many (human) generations.

Though most of his time is spent alone, Qwer has three good friends who regularly visit him. He seems content with only seeing the loose-in-the-noggin Melnath, Wibbly Wobbley Viney Winey, and Tktaka the highly caffeinated delivery whiptail. Tktaka brings orders up to Quer from the city, and brings some of his smaller works down for him. Most of Qwer's works are too heavy for Tktaka though, so he brings them down into town himself.
