Silver Dragons are arguably one of the most beautiful types of dragons. They live in high altitude habitats such as mountains. Male Silvers hunt and eat meat. While not as beautiful or radiant as females, silver males possess better physical attributes, such as strength.

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.

Tears of the Bazaar is a Misery Mummy. All of the Misery Mummies in his community are empathetic and patient listeners, and he's no different. His job now involves sitting among a bunch of proofreaders reviewing pieces of writing for the Records Room. They're an angry bunch. Every so often, one will politely call on him, show him what they're reading, and criticize it for as long as they want, to blow off steam:

"Tears, over here. Here is a six-line run-on sentence about a dragon who's totally devoted to her spouse. Oh, this is awful."

"This one is just some song lyrics, word-for-word. That's called PLAGIARISM!"

"'Mate to blah.' That's it! I'm sick of explaining why things like this are unacceptable. I just want to shred these!"

"Look, Tears! NOT ONCE HAS A COMMA BEEN USED CORRECTLY!"

...And so on. He will sometimes give words of encouragement to the irritable editors, but he usually just sits, looking solemn and hoping his glowing presence keeps them from becoming too distraught.
