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.

Aptly named, Formosa is easily the most beautiful dragon in the wide territory of the great queen Caravaggio. Even the rare human who catches sight of him is awestruck. His slight frame and fine features ensure that he is never wanting for potential mates, though he shuns them all. Either fanatically fawned over or resented by most, he shies away into the deepest, most inhospitable parts of the craggy mountains he calls home. This brooding side is in stark contrast to the shallow, breezy air he gives off when around others.
