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.

Raised by a sickly dragon mother who only had the physical power to lay one egg in her entire lifetime and whose mate was killed by other dragons, Scholear learned to fend for himself very early in life. He left home as soon as his mother died, shortly after he matured into adulthood; seeking out a remote mountain home, he avoided socializing with other dragons and left his cave only when necessary to hunt. In one of his trips to the foot of the mountain for hunting, he met a female guardian dragon who was exploring the forest with a dinosaur in tow. When a freak snowstorm prevented him from flying back into the mountains for several days, he got to know them, and by the time he returned to his cave the guardian dragon, Cynarow, went with him as his mate. Scholear and Cynarow now spend their days living a very quiet and isolated lifestyle, occasionally accompanied by orphan hatchlings that they adopt and raise.
