Copper Dragons are masters of stealth, slipping silently and swiftly through the forests and jungles where they live. Often hunting in groups, their prey rarely know they are being stalked until the dragon’s at their throat. In the air they are agile and skilled. Copper Dragons prize family groups, spending large amounts of time teaching their young skills. So great is their love of life and family that they will sometimes adopt orphaned dragons of other breeds to raise.

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.

Verdagris is somewhat of an enigma, a familiar yet unknown face that is a constant mystery. One day she simply appeared at Hawktalon's cave, slipping among the dragons that dwelled there as though she'd been born there. With a friendly smile and eerily familiar tone that left everyone racking their brains for some memory of this dragon, she was welcomed with open arms and immediately fitting in. Those who questioned her sudden appearance and unknown background soon fell silent as she proved to be a valuable addition with the exceptional prowess in hunting all Coppers possess and her patience with the hatchlings. Then, as suddenly as she'd appeared she left without a trace, leaving an empty hole that hadn't even been noticed before her arrival. There where even those who went searching for the secretive dragon, but they returned empty-pawed. Since then Verdagris has come back, multiple times, always to vanish several days later without a trace and leaving many to ponder her motives.
