White Dragons are pacifists and specialize in extremely strong healing magic. The only limit of this magic is that it can’t bring back the dead. They only eat plants and never kill living things.

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 daughter of the Gentle Rose, a rosebud dragon of rare color and rarer patience, Mercies has been affectionate and kindly from the day of her hatching. Viewing no trouble as unsolvable, she regularly travels to war-torn lands to offer healing and peace, believing good will win the day no matter how dark the night. Her journeys also solve another purpose, however. The sibling who had been laid before her had been stolen from the nest by a thief and was never recovered, leading his parents into deep mourning and leading the daughter that followed into great anguish as well. Filled with thoughts of the brother she never knew, she vowed to find him and bring him home--ignoring all whispers that he was likely no longer alive to be saved. Yet faith and diligence paid off, Mercies finding him not only intact but well, rescued shortly after his kidnapping by a very kindly human! The two siblings are now extremely close, sharing a love of all life and a great desire to do good in the world.
