White Dragons are pacifists and specialize in extremely strong healing magic. The only limit of this magic is that it can’t bring back the dead. They only eat plants and never kill living things.

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.

With the quietest of modesty Rutuk follows Xenebo the Pure, even though she has already made it startlingly clear that she does not allow males to join in her traveling band of healers. He is silent in his efforts to show her he may be trusted, perhaps allowed to participate in the group when duty. The dragoness' motives are to remain pure and unsoiled, and he knows this! But unknown to her, she hasn't a reason to worry over Rutuk's intentions at all. He is placid to the very soul with a secret not so easily spilled: Rutuk admires not feminine form but the male figure.
