Ridgewing Dragons live just below the snow level on the upper slopes of mountains. They are a friendly, playful breed and enjoy dancing in wind currents near their homes or plummeting down into valleys from great heights. Their wings, by far their most striking feature, grow in fin-like ridges along their backs. While their bodies lack markings to blend better with their surroundings, a ridgewing’s wings have bright markings in the colors of the flowers that grow in their mountain habitat. Occasionally different-colored individuals can be found, but they are rare because their striking coloring offers little protection.

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.

Ja'l Vetru Kridlo is very friendly and gentle. He loves soaring through the mountain tops of his birthplace. He is a bit of a showoff when there's an audience by doing flips and twists in the air. With other ridge wings he loves having races and seeing who can do the best and most complicated tricks. One thing he does just to pass time is gliding on the thermals up high in the clouds all alone except for his thoughts. He is proud of his wings and will get snappish if someone makes fun of them.
