Magi Dragons are, as their name suggests, primarily magic users. They rarely use physical forms of attack. They eat anything they can kill, which is almost everything. They won’t kill unprovoked except when hunting, although they may kill humans if in danger. Their strong magic makes them one of the most feared breeds of dragons.

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.

Dyrmar is obsessed with a particular game. This wouldn't be so bad if he were fascinated with something like dragon chess, or even with one of the more challenging human card games, but his object of obsession is barely a game at all. Even Dyrmar admits that there's not much to his game, which makes his claim that everyone in the world is playing it rather spurious. According to him, there is no way to win, and even to be reminded that the game exists is to lose it. Most dragons think that Dyrmar is rather odd, though they're polite enough not to say so to his face, and wish that he'd find something else to be fixated on.
