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.

Normally Schwanenstein, which means Swan-stone, mimicked a stone at the shore of the North Sea, near a little German village. He liked to watch the humans as they led their lives over the time. Only sometimes, watchful people could see him move, but many said that it was not a normal stone, sitting there near the coast.

And so legends arose over the time, that the babies, brought by storks in summer and by swans in winter, are hidden inside the Stone until theis time comes. A long time Schwanenstein was only called 'The Stone', but some time ago, people noticed that many swans rest on it and hence Schwanenstein received its name.

Sometimes he still visited the cave in the cliff, where he came from, and told the others there about the humans from the village, but as he was the only one from his clan who was interested in other humans beside their mistress, he decided to finally settle near the coast. Watching.
