Gold dragons are the ones most often killed by humans, who consider their scales to be extremely valuable. These golden scales grant them a high level of protection, similar to armor, and they use this to their advantage in battle.

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.

No one knows where Yamaraja comes from. Fellow dragons found her scaleless and badly injured inside one of the many caves that surround Northern Hills and brought her to their community. Miraculously she survived and reached adulthood, but with severe limitations. Out of fear or pain she refuses to learn how to fly. She is also unable to hunt, eating what she finds on the floor or what others offer her. She shies away from company and has tried several times to abandon the community but never went too far due to her disadvantages.
