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.

Tenement has a special fishing pole and bait she uses solely to catch deeplava yaks. "But Tenement," some people say, "there's no such thing as deeplava yaks". She is a stubborn dragon and will not fall for this deception. No one can prove these creatures aren't real, and she always says that absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. While Tenement hasn't caught any yet, even with her special equipment, she's sure she has evidence of these yaks in the form of pieces of horn and brown hair.
