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.

The magic of turning back death is frowned upon in many parts of the world, and even in Nworset Silver Hip feels he must keep his practice secret. He specialises in repairing damaged bodies that other resurrectors would refuse to touch. When provided with incomplete remains, he has been known to use alloys of mana and metal to replace key bones in order to prepare the body for resurrection. In many cases he feels revival is not in the deceased's best interest and will only bring the body to life long enough to complete a task—for example, clarifying the intention behind a poorly-worded will or allowing a bereaved family member the chance to share some final words. Other times he is happy to raise a body permanently, such as a few adorable skeleton pets. His own undead miniature pony is as loving in death as she was in life.
