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.

The son of a most respected king, Sanereth is every bit as noble and selfless as his father... but for better or worse, he's not half as serious. Taking strongly after his Sunsong mother, his carefree personality sees him spending most of his time performing aerial stunts or chasing after dragonflies rather than coming up with glorious plans for the country's future. He knows his behavior is far from dignified, but he figures his elder brother Thariel is serious enough to make up for it.
