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.

Despite her magnificent metallic coat Beitidh is skilled in illusion and disappearance. Even as a hatchling she loved nothing better than perfecting her magical ability to camouflage herself, blending in with rocks or snow to hide from her parents' watchful eyes or to sneak up on unsuspecting siblings. Now that she is an adult, it is virtually impossible to see Beitidh if she does not want to be seen. In the never ending conflict between Clann na Beinne and the pack of Ice and Winter dragons living further up the mountains, it is Beitidh's duty to monitor their opponents' every move and warn her clan for any imminent attacks. Unfortunately for her, her skills at illusion are matched by the Ice and Winter dragons' ability to blend in with their element.
