Gold dragons are the ones most often killed by humans, who consider their scales to be extremely valuable. These golden scales grant them a high level of protection, similar to armor, and they use this to their advantage in battle.

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.

Bright Glory is known as a pretentious dragon. He claims that his scales shine the brightest of all the gold dragons in the clan, and often pushes people away with his flamboyant personality. Despite his flaws, he has found a mate in Emerald Prowess, who has just as much pride as he does. He's also a brave dragon, one of the few who doesn't fear human hands, even though he knows Gold dragon's scales are incredibly valuable to them.
