Holiday dragons are a very mysterious breed. They are only seen during winter, and even then it is hard to catch a glimpse of one. They are responsible for the general cheer that spreads during the holidays. In essence, they are the “Spirits of Winter.”

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.

Nibel Wolf was once a peaceful winter spirit, but then one night he saw a group of knights leaving his territory and found several caves with dragon eggs smashed. Not a single egg was spared. He was so enraged by the humans' cruelty that he roared his rage to the heavens and a power surged from him, turning his scales and fur darker and his eyes red with fury. The next day rumors began to spread of an enraged monster who prowls the forest hunting down those who would dare harm any dragons, for a group of knights were found trampled and mauled in the snow.
