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. Pharos are an aloof and majestic Xenowyrm that is most often seen gliding through the shimmering skies over the desert. Their gleaming scales catch and reflect the light in a most pleasing manner, and many attempt to find their valuable fallen scales around their lofty desert mountain perches. While they don’t seek out attention or companionship, those seeking the knowledge of a Pharos may find themself bestowed with decidedly unconventional wisdom.

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.

Storm loves spring. It is the best season, tail down. He'll occasionally come down from his mountain to bring light and plant life to someplace, which many people have noted is pretty "Gaia-y". Unlike his Gaia brethren, though, he's usually quiet and standoffish around humans and other dragons, even other Xenowyrms. He gets very angry if he sees someone destroy any form of life for no discernible reason and will descend upon them with a powerful magical strike. Storm accepts being called "Springtide", "Tide", or "Storm" but hates being called "Spring". Spring is the good season, not an appropriate personal name.
