Undine Dragons are named for the water spirits with which they share territory. They have close relationships with these spirits, and are able to communicate with them. In exchange for protection and respect of their mutual freshwater homes, laid eggs are often protected by a blessing. This blessing stays with the dragon into adulthood, and with it they gain potent magical abilities. Sometimes when an Undine Dragon becomes very upset, the ground at their feet may frost over or begin to steam. They have also been observed to manipulate water directly, rerouting raindrops or creating puddles from groundwater. Undine Dragons always live near forest pools, streams, or waterfalls. Both genders take equal part in the raising of young and are very good parents—though they may not remain mated after the offspring are grown.

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.

Dawnfrost is the Megistanus of the Silvanus clan. With the undine spirits at her side she rules with a calm and caring disposition, except of course when it comes to her own kind. She is one of the four undine dragons in the cave which each, out of spite, turned to a different clan. Dawnfrost felt betrayed when they refused to join her in the forest along with her clan and now actively ignores each one, only bothering to give each of them withering looks from time to time and gloat about how well her clan is doing. The Silvanus clan motto is: "Infra arboribus manemus" which means, beneath the trees we reside.
