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.

Duff Nova is a struggling musician trying hard to find his niche. He is obsessed with stepping out of the shadow of his (in)famous mother Razor Rita and has tried to distance himself from her antics, pursuing a hypnotic, ambient sound and experimenting with pieces composed almost entirely of silence. Yet every time Duff tries to put on a performance, his steady, rhythmic sound dissolves into screaming lyrics, epic riffs, and the inevitable destruction of a precious sitar on the stage. Wretchedly, he is slowly coming to realize no amount of trying to align his chi with crystals or standing on his head meditating can cure him--he's too much a rocker at heart. Duff puts it down to his estranged mother's influence and tries not to hold it against her, and makes a point to send her a fresh pack of craft paper every year for her birthday.
