Albino Dragons are so named because their translucent, scale-less skin lacks all pigment. Instead, to help protect their bodies from the sun, they are coated in an oily secretion that blocks the sun’s harmful rays. The call of an albino dragon is similar to a barn owl--a shriek instead of a roar.

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.

While not an unusual habit, Novo Pluto decided that burying his treasure under the earth was a good habit for any dragon to take up. So in the night on every Summer Solstice and Winter Solstice he hikes down the mountains of the caves to a place of his choice. There he digs a deep hole, big enough to hide his accumulated objects away in, plus a few feet for the earth to be shovelled on top of his hidden treasure.

At first, he was very content with this method and lived by what he hunted during the seasons to survive. The thought alone of his endless treasures in the earth made him happy. However, after a few years of doing this, he realized a major flaw in his plan. Since he never went to the same site twice, he started forgetting where exactly the treasures were hidden. A few hatchlings that observed his frantic digging one day decided to join the game. When one of them actually found gold, a treasure hunt fever spread like wildfire amongst the caves, leaving a very poor Novo Pluto.
