Silver Dragons are arguably one of the most beautiful types of dragons. They live in high altitude habitats such as mountains. Male Silvers hunt and eat meat. While not as beautiful or radiant as females, silver males possess better physical attributes, such as strength.

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.

Strike is not very sociable, only ever spending his time with Glaedr and Cloudsky, who are his two closest friends. All three were together as hatchlings, even though Glaedr was an egg throughout most of Strike and Cloudsky's time as hatchlings. All three are haughty and proud, considering themselves above all dragons in the clan, except for their four rulers. However, they do not pause before voicing their displeasure that the young Princess Lightshine, who is only a hatchling, was placed above them in importance.
