Albino Dragons are so named because their translucent, scale-less skin lacks all pigment. Instead, to help protect their bodies from the sun, they are coated in an oily secretion that blocks the sun’s harmful rays. The call of an albino dragon is similar to a barn owl--a shriek instead of a roar.

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.

Day in, day out, there is sin. Many sins accumulating, in fact, and no one is innocent. Or so Novo Addom used to believe. He himself had sinned, didn't see a reason to stop. Why not, he asked, when confronted by his mate, then went right back to it. It was like an addiction, once he started, he needed to do it again, just once more. And when he didn't get caught, he continued. Then he did get caught, but no serious repercussion followed, so he resumed his deeds.

Now, the sinner is pale and sweating as he awaits the divine judgement. Perhaps, he should have stopped, shouldn't have assumed that there were no consequences. Maybe this could have been avoided, but what-ifs were for naught. Awaiting the judgement is part of his punishment, he is sure, and he dreads what cruel things the divine may come up with. He worries, and that is a part of his punishment, too.
