Gold dragons are the ones most often killed by humans, who consider their scales to be extremely valuable. These golden scales grant them a high level of protection, similar to armor, and they use this to their advantage in battle.

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.

L'fiel's grace and bright gentleness is belied by a sharp tongue, sharper wit, and surprising possessiveness. She only has eyes for Z'iya, in whom she took an interest virtually as soon as she laid eyes on him, likely due to his not being ensnared by her claim to be able to grant wishes. That he was stubborn in succumbing to her advances had only served to inflame her ardor. Now, they are nigh on inseparable-- find one of them and the other is sure to be nearby. The rest of their clan teasingly refers to them as on a permanent honeymoon.
