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.

Relatively kind (for a nobledragon, anyway), Ginto grew up away from her family at the castle, spending most of her time in the company of human children. They always had fascinating stories to tell, and she spun several of her own which left every single child in awe. Even when she returned to Issrod, she never lost her storytelling abilities. Nowadays, she weaves stories for the hatchlings and listens to theirs, nudging them along to the Scribe if it is particularly fascinating.
