Silver Dragons are arguably one of the most beautiful types of dragons. They live in high altitude habitats such as mountains. Silver females eat meat only when a male dragon brings it to them as part of courtship, though they are typically highly-independent. They possess an almost magical aura that lights up any place they are in, and are looked upon with awe by humans and animals alike.

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.

Once, there was a dragon breeder who had raised and studied over one thousand dragons. In celebration of this accomplishment, they gave eggs of all breeds, rare or common, to any who asked. The only condition was that the dragon be named, and that name was to have '1000' in it.

When 1000 Words' egg came to the cave, there was a great deal of talk over how this condition would be met without saddling her with a poor name. By the time she had hatched, the little Silver was still without a name.

This didn't bother her too much, she was a dull-scaled little hatchling, and rather than attracting attention for her rarity and silvery glow, she was praised for her artistic talent. She kept this up as she grew, creating larger, more elaborate paintings, never caring that the paints and dyes had permanently stained her silver scales and pale pink mane all sorts of colors. If anything, she became pickier, intent on becoming a work of art herself: a picture worth more than a thousand words.
