Golden Wyverns are known for their beautiful metallic scales and rumored magical abilities. Living high in the mountains, these dragons do not believe in killing for sport or pleasure. They will hunt only when hungry and defend themselves when provoked, but will avoid killing to the best of their abilities. Golden Wyverns often mingle with other dragons of similar color and take pride in their shimmering hide.

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.

Seimitsu is a bookish sort of dragon, and keeps a collection of prized gilded hardback tomes in his living cavern. Every time manuscript illuminators bring their crafts to fairs and festivals to show off, Seimitsu ventures outwards to examine them, but rarely ever picks up new books. His family likes to speculate why he only keeps a few treasured stories, most stating that he's such an intellectual that he only reads the most complicated and challenging of texts. The truth, which Seimitsu is a little embarrassed to admit, is merely that there aren't a lot of books telling the kinds of stories he likes. Seimitsu adores evocative tragic romances, but he refuses to keep the book on his shelf if the ending isn't happy.
