Originating from a single species that thrived in ancient times, Xenowyrms have become an incredibly diverse breed whose appearances vary depending on their habitats. Each Xenowyrm subspecies is heavily reliant on the power of different types of mana, making them powerful magic users. Chronos are often considered to be the most elusive of all Xenowyrm subspecies: they live in the darkest and densest forests, far from civilization. They are masters of time magic, allowing them to manipulate the flow of time at will. It is said that Chrono lairs are protected by a field of magic that makes the minutes tick by at a slow pace for any unwanted visitors.

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.

All the Works and Days of Hands is a wonderful handyman despite neither having hands nor being a man. Some others are perturbed about an individual being named after a body part they lack, but it doesn't seem to bother her in the least. She often helps Esivan out with construction, using her time magic to slow things down when something is falling that shouldn't be in order to prevent undue injury. The only problem is her tendency to lift and drop questions on others' plates. She especially harasses her mate with these questions, to the point where he will sarcastically joke about it.
