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.

Somewhere deep underground where the light never shines, there is a cavern filled with gold, lit by wall sconces of light mana to create a brilliance that drives away most of the creatures of the underworld. This is no accident, nor is the fact that every single coin has been individually enchanted to sap the strength of any who take them into their possession. Evin Lurkgold is the mastermind, using the treasure both as bait and camouflage. Like his cavern lurker ancestors he hunts by ambush, and he uses his potent earth magic and lesser darkness to great effect. He is very prideful of his stealth and patience and goes to great pains to ensure that no coin that leaves his hoard fails to return.
