Guardian Dragons have large shields on the end of their tails. Although the shields appear to be heavy, they are light, yet nearly unbreakable. Guardian Dragons use their tail-shields, as well as their wings, to deflect attacks and protect others. Often, they will guard the eggs and hatchlings of a nest while others are away. They are generally peaceful, and will not retaliate unless necessary. They have no need to forage or hunt, as they are fed by those they protect.

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.

The Edmyn the Unprepared Memorial Item Library is located at the outskirts of civilized Galsreim, out where "Here There Be Dragons" changes from welcome to warning and rogue dragons are the least of one's concerns. The library, a place to borrow all sorts of quest-vital items, is run by two magi dragon sisters and a variety of draconic assistants.

Sulek Mountainheart guards the merchandise. His presence is enough to deter most instances of five-finger (or five-claw) discounts, so his main challenge is to convince adventurers that he's not for hire as a bodyguard, no matter what they offer him. Too polite for a flat-out refusal, he's developed a variety of excuses, from silly to serious.
