Mint colored dragons are the most peaceful of all dragons; they only eat plants unless they scavenge meat from an already dead animal. They also have no ways to attack others or defend themselves. They are much smaller than other forms of dragons since they only double in size when they mature. Mint dragons are unable to use magic and cannot fly since they lack wings. Their looks have given rise to the common insult of calling dragons “large lizards.”

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.

Athia was the first dragon to come to live in the cave that would become the home of the Anu clan. Even though he does not bear the Anu namesake, he is supported as the unquestioned leader of the clan. Abandoned as a young hatchling, he was forced to survive on his own; and that made him clever, intelligent, and practically fearless. He does, however, have a deep fear of water, which he keeps well hidden. He took in the unwanted and abandoned; the clan slowly growing to be over one hundred powerful members. He treats everyone with respect and kindness; the reason why the other dragons allow a mint to rule over them. Athia was nearly killed in a fight with a violent gold who wanted to take over leadership of the clan. Now healed, Athia is planning to take back control of his cave. The gold dragon is foolishly weak, and Athia know exactly how to destroy this impostor.
