Ridgewing Dragons live just below the snow level on the upper slopes of mountains. They are a friendly, playful breed and enjoy dancing in wind currents near their homes or plummeting down into valleys from great heights. Their wings, by far their most striking feature, grow in fin-like ridges along their backs. While their bodies lack markings to blend better with their surroundings, a ridgewing’s wings have bright markings in the colors of the flowers that grow in their mountain habitat. Occasionally different-colored individuals can be found, but they are rare because their striking coloring offers little protection.

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.

Avalor had been named after a great Ridgewing King. The first Avalor had been ruler of a great, legendary cave by the name of Avalon in which all sorts of dragons rested and lived. Now, here is this Avalor living in the very same cave as the one in the legends. It had been discovered by humans many millions of years after full of dragons of all breeds, like the legend told of. Now, here is a noble Ridgewing male ruling his part of the cave. He has a advisers underneath him and all the Ridgewings of his clan below him respect him and like having him as leader. He's happy and everyone underneath his leadership is happy, so all is well for now.
