Gold dragons are the ones most often killed by humans, who consider their scales to be extremely valuable. These golden scales grant them a high level of protection, similar to armor, and they use this to their advantage in battle.

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.

Elena-Paris is an unusual Gold Dragon. She prefers to live alone for the most part, and only emerges from her home when it is time to mate. There is only one Dragon that she has an intrest in, and that is a Magi. She upset her father when she decided on her first mate, because it wasn't a Dragon of high rank, so she then began to fear the company of other Dragons.
