Silver Dragons are arguably one of the most beautiful types of dragons. They live in high altitude habitats such as mountains. Silver females eat meat only when a male dragon brings it to them as part of courtship, though they are typically highly-independent. They possess an almost magical aura that lights up any place they are in, and are looked upon with awe by humans and animals alike.

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.

A unnaturally talented strategist and complex "personality," Valeng has destroyed many a dragon's sanity (and quite a few egos, some evil, and others not quite so). She lives by no code of morality except that information is always good. Nothing in the world represents a danger for this free agent. For thousands of years she has roamed lands far from Kad's clan with keen reflexes, savage beauty and a little kitten called Quill.

Valeng is ferociously intelligent and usually quite charming, but she has dark desires she would rather not mention. In sacrifices for so-called wisdom she's lost much of what makes her mortal and emotional, discovering that the powers she has only draw her deeper into a vicious cycle of delight and guilt. Quietly, away from this ever-inquisitive dragon, others whisper that her incredible mental talents are only eclipsed by her ability to destroy virtue.
