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.

Wirenth is one of the many dragons rescued and nurtured by the wide ranging clan of humans founded by AnselaJonla. Her egg was found on a mountain slope and taken to a hatchery to be raised.

Once she matured, she found her lifemate, a Red dragon, among the other AnselaJonla dragons. In the tradition of the AnselaJonla flock, both dragons took the same name, Wan, to pass down to any of their offspring that remained within the flock.

Wirenth is one of the few dragons in the flock who will let clan members ride on her back outside of an emergency. She formed a strong bond with a young clanswoman named Brekke as a hatchling, and even since Brekke's passing Wirenth has allowed her descendants to fly with her.

She wishes her mate could fly with her more often, but an injury obtained as a hatchling makes it difficult for him to move his left wing. Dual flights are therefore saved for special occasions.
