Ridgewing Dragons live just below the snow level on the upper slopes of mountains. They are a friendly, playful breed and enjoy dancing in wind currents near their homes or plummeting down into valleys from great heights. Their wings, by far their most striking feature, grow in fin-like ridges along their backs. While their bodies lack markings to blend better with their surroundings, a ridgewing’s wings have bright markings in the colors of the flowers that grow in their mountain habitat. Occasionally different-colored individuals can be found, but they are rare because their striking coloring offers little protection.

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.

Siol is relatively quiet and is notorious for running off and coming back days later. Unlike most of the clan, she is not interested in finding a mate and merely shrugs off Irapul urging her to do so. Siol simply wants to be free and unrestrained, that way she can do what she wants, when she wants. Like Irapul, Siol looks down on others she deems below her standards, however, unlike Irapul, Siol keeps these feelings to herself, as she does not wish to engage in any arguments.
