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.

Speckled Violet is one of the most beautiful dragons on the Dragon Isles.  She is a member of the Ridgewing Dragon Tribe.  Despite her looks, she is not a snobby dragon.  Her two favorite things in the world are flying and singing.  She has a beautiful voice, but not in the way humans would view a singer.  She sings melodies that only dragons can understand, wordless lullabies that bring tears of joy to the eyes of anyone watching.  Due to her musical talent, she became leader of the Song Division.  Every time a human listens to her songs, they find themselves wishing they could know the meaning of her music.
