Green Dragons are also sometimes called “earth” dragons. They usually live deep within caves, and have power over the earth. They are capable of launching boulders at high speeds, and can cause earthquakes by slamming down onto the ground.

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.

Orilac was abandoned as an egg shortly after being laid. Thornstar speculates that this may be because she was not a silver, like her father, but she may be wrong. Either way, Thornstar took her in, along with three other eggs at the time, who would turn out to be Magefem, Purgen, and Skarog, her three best friends. As there were no other dragons, Vinus looked after them, even after they had hatched. He seemed drawn to Orilac more than the others, however, and has since taken her as a mate.<br/>Orilac is fierce and brave, ready to fight if needed, ready to talk if possible.<br/>Orilac is unusual becuase she has kind of a "green thumb," and has an unusual talent with plants, which may have resulted in or be due to the fact that her mate, Vinus, is a plant dragon.
