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. Pyros are easily the heaviest of all Xenowyrm subspecies and they use their weight to their advantage. If scorching their foes with flames doesn’t finish them off, Pyros will use the weight of their bodies for sheer crushing power. They create their lairs solely in volcanic regions, where lava and billowing flames are the land’s most prominent features.

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.

When Braz heard of the rebellion he immediately left his volcanic home in search of the militia. He could care less for the cause, but the idea of taking on dozens, if not hundreds of dragons in battle was an appealing one for him, and he so seldom had "visitors" to his fiery home. He's found his place in the rebellion teaching others how to fight, sparring with the less-skilled to hone their techniques. It satisfies his need for combat for now, but every night he drifts off to sleep with the thought of bloodshed and victory weighing in his mind.
