Gold dragons are the ones most often killed by humans, who consider their scales to be extremely valuable. These golden scales grant them a high level of protection, similar to armor, and they use this to their advantage in battle.

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.

Christian Bale is considered by many to be the closest thing to perfection one can find. He is considered extremely handsome and talented, though still charitable and not without a sense of humor. Though he lost some public support after he was overheard incessantly berating at another dragon for blocking his light, he has still maintained a cult-like following. His followers call themselves Bale-heads, and are often found wandering the Dark Night.
