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.

The oldest of his large adopted family, Murasaki Sky acts as the delegator to his siblings and those younger than him. When the home cave became too crowded, he was the one to suggest that they branch off, with Mountain based species remaining in the home cave and those of different habitats going to find a new cave in that habitat. Though his suggestion was rejected by some, others found it the perfect solution. He does not consider himself the leader of the Mountain clan, but his words are always taken seriously.
