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.

A strong flyer from birth, Redeo finds solace in the high altitudes when flying. Though he loves to show off when in flight over his brothers, sisters, and DragonKeeper, he prefers to fly unobserved.

He once tried to court Elliana, covering his wings in rose petals when they were flat, rippling his wings to vibrate the petals. Unfortunately during this time, a strong gust of wind blew and caught him under his wings, blowing him up and away. This disaster dampened his desire to ever court her again. In shame, he continually avoids her, preferring instead to soar into the skies alone and forgotten.
