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.

Suzushii Kaze Yukiyama, meaning Cool Breeze of the Snow Mountain Family, is a quiet dragon who is seemingly obsessed the wild flowers of the mountains she lives on. She also likes to wade in the cold streams in the valleys and can always find interesting and fun little trinkets in the streams. She is a good listener and very good at giving advice if one can ever find her. She is rather hard to find on the mountain, and rarely comes down to visit, before she disappears again to the high snowy cliffs.
