Silver Dragons are arguably one of the most beautiful types of dragons. They live in high altitude habitats such as mountains. Male Silvers hunt and eat meat. While not as beautiful or radiant as females, silver males possess better physical attributes, such as strength.

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.

Son of a father whose shameful cowardice earned him both exile and contempt among his clan, this dragon has gone to great lengths to distance himself from being associated with his sire. Even if the members of the foreign tribe that finally took them in are forgiving, others are not; one wrong word outside the safe boundaries of his new home could earn him agony or worse for the association. However, his boasts--that he is brave, strong, determined, everything his ancestor was not--fall flat and dry from his tongue, an uncomfortable reminder of the truth that lies beneath them. No, he is not the hero he pretends, and fears that if he were ever placed in the circumstances his father was, he would fail just the same. Yet even as he thus sympathizes with his sire's plight, his worries about his own safety continue to lead him to distance himself from his kin--in what is, ironically, perhaps the greatest sign of his own weakness as well.
