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.

Dull-witted and stubborn, most refer to Sa'hailli as "the Albatross." Whether she is lost in deep thought or simply enjoys inconveniencing others, no one will ever know. She never says anything as she stands there in the cave entrance, as motionless as a Nocturne caught in the sun. Her enigmatic behavior has caused the spread of a popular rumor that she is actually an enchanted statue.
