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.

The young dragon keeper of the Kes Clan discovered an egg that shone with incredible brilliance. She cared for the egg and took time to raise it with the other dragons of the cave. After the egg hatched, it became very social. The glowing hatchling became friendly with every dragon within the clan and soon became a very respected female adult. It was then that the dragon keeper recognised the dragon's leadership and mothering traits. On the day of naming, the dragon was deemed Karin Kes, the Clan Mother. She protects all dragons of the Kes name with a fierce maternal instict and bears no steady mate.
