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.

Silvermoon was raised by his adopted mother, Shimmermoon, after she found his egg floating in a river. She saved and hatched him, raising him alongside her as she traveled the continent in nomadic solitude. From his youth, the only constants in Silvermoon's life were his mother's stoic, silent traveling and the moon. He used to imagine that he could even hear the moon speaking to him sometimes, just before he fell asleep.

When he reached his maturity, he finally asked his mother where he had come from: it was his time to learn about his birth, a question he'd held his entire life. Shimmermoon directed him to the riverbank where she'd found him, and he followed the river upstream to discover the Valley of the Moon, a hidden sect of dragons who worship the moon in secrecy and isolation from any outsiders.

He hasn't been able to get too close yet, but Silvermoon can be patient. His history is here, his blood, he's sure of it, as sure as if the Moon herself whispered it to his heart.
