This breed of dragon was thought to exist only in legend. Although their name varies between cultures, they are often referred to as “Guardians of Nature.” They are able to channel the forces of fire, ice and lightning, which allows them to wield tremendous power. Seen very rarely, it is thought that they only become active when something is threatening the territory they have chosen to guard. In order to protect their chosen home, these dragons are incredibly adaptable; they have been seen everywhere from remote mountain ranges, to ancient forests, to the darkest depths of the ocean.

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.

Kaladin has had a hard life. He is extremely protective of his loved ones, but when he was young, he was shunned by his clan because they had never seen a dragon like him and didn't trust him. He grew up all alone and thus developed a rather melancholic, reserved personality.

Later, when he was already grown up and danger came over the clan, he protected all the other dragons by risking (and nearly losing) his own life.

By this, he gained the trust and love of the other dragons. Even though he became a fully accepted part of the clan, he stayed reserved and was always reluctant when other dragons tried to approach him. It took him very long to open up even a bit.

Today, he is still very quiet and not the most fun dragon to be around, but enjoys a good talk with other dragons. Deep down, he is very kind and caring, but he rarely shows it.

When he eventually was willing to breed, many considered that a miracle.
