Silver Dragons are arguably one of the most beautiful types of dragons. They live in high altitude habitats such as mountains. Male Silvers hunt and eat meat. While not as beautiful or radiant as females, silver males possess better physical attributes, such as strength.

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.

The growing success of the Roaring Lion Players soon gave the theatrical company a chance to try new ideas. Some, like audience participation, weren't worth the effort, but plays designed to be performed in short, serialized segments before longer plays proved to be excellent money-makers, as dragons would attend multiple plays to see further installments.

Cyral is the noble hero, swooping in to save the day when all seems lost. In a subversion of theatrical gender roles, it's often Kygesk who must save him from the villain. Cyral might usually be the one to defeat Tyoku at the end, but most of what he does before then is float around, looking pretty and making speeches, while Kygesk gets herself into and out of trouble. He's much less useless in real life, as he likes to help assemble sets or test lighting (if his scales blind the audience, it's too bright).
