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.

Delfiam often wishes that her parents had been a little more creative with names, instead of naming her after one half of a pair of ill-fated lovers. She's heard every single scrap of poetry (good, bad, and indifferent) about the tragic love of Delfiam and Saharion multiple times, to the point where she knows all of it by heart. While too nice to cause physical harm, Delfiam has spent hours thinking up creative punishments for the next dragon to joke about being her Saharion.
