Stone Dragons have a tough outer covering made of a stone-like material. They eat rocks, using the minerals they contain for nourishment and to keep up their stone outer shell. They rarely move, and are the heaviest of all types of dragons. Although they have wings, indicating flight ability, no one has ever seen a stone dragon flying.

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.

To the west of the territory there is a giant temple carved into the mountainside. Many pilgrims trek across the treacherous mountains and deep ravines in order to visit it and ask the gods for help.

Suzuma is the guardian of this temple and the monks that reside there. She watches over them as they tend to their visitors and the mountain goats they keep.

As a stone dragon, she rarely moves, making it hard to pick her out of the surrounding rocks and boulders. Even those who know her have a difficult time in locating her and sometimes trip over her tail in their search.

Suzuma is close friends with the high priest, whom she has known since he was just a boy. Even though he is now old and infirm, he goes to see her whenever he is well enough to leave his private chambers.
