Golden Wyverns are known for their beautiful metallic scales and rumored magical abilities. Living high in the mountains, these dragons do not believe in killing for sport or pleasure. They will hunt only when hungry and defend themselves when provoked, but will avoid killing to the best of their abilities. Golden Wyverns often mingle with other dragons of similar color and take pride in their shimmering hide.

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.

Aralan is a member of the Sunscale Collective, a golden wyvern training and research community that doubles as a refuge for all gold dragons, sophrosynes, and any other breeds that are of entirely too much interest to humans. A born storyteller, he keeps hatchlings entertained with fantastic tales. He weaves unobtrusive moral into many of them about such things as the importance of caution and the necessity of avoiding humans.
