Dragons are creatures with nearly unlimited life spans. They can survive for long periods of time, and no one has found a dragon that has died of old age. Adolescence 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. Once they hit adolescence, hatchlings change quickly, maturing to their full forms in only 2 years.

Dragons don't communicate with each other verbally, but they will growl to scare off predators and frighten prey. Young dragons will emit an extremely high-pitched squeal when they are frightened. To communicate, they use telepathy with each other and to speak to other creatures.

Silver dragons are arguably one of the most beautiful types of dragons. They live in high altitude habitats such as mountains. Silver females, like most female dragons, eat meat only when a male dragon brings it to them. 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.

Mithril Sidhe, daughter of Kitaran and keeper of the scrolls of Ashke'hai's great library, is a young but intelligent member of her now growing family. She spends many of her days in the great library with the scholars reading and learning of her world and its' magics. She hopes to one day bring the same knowledge to the outside world and help to bridge the chasm between the Dragon kin and the other races of Oryin and bring peace between them. She would much rather be considered an equal than just another animal to be slain. Humble, she does not allow the fact that her father leads Ashke'hai go to her head for fear of pride clouding her judgment.
