Silver Dragons are arguably one of the most beautiful types of dragons. They live in high altitude habitats such as mountains. Silver females eat meat only when a male dragon brings it to them as part of courtship, though they are typically highly-independent. They possess an almost magical aura that lights up any place they are in, and are looked upon with awe by humans and animals alike.

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.

Cordelia d'Argentum is an "aristocrat" of her tribe. The first one actually. As a hatchling, the Silver soon exhibited a superior air, and upon maturity declared herself an aristocrat despite the fact that tribe had no such thing. She took it upon herself to befriend dragons of the tribe she considered noble, or at least try to, and try to form a court out of them. The elders of the tribe humor this small group, but will quickly shut down any attempt by the group to claim power. Cordelia seems to have finally accepted this, and has decided that the role of the court, which she herself is head of, will be to organize the lesser dragons and leave the elders to any real leading. Her attempts to organize the lesser dragons have been met with mixed reactions and very little success.
