White Dragons are pacifists and specialize in extremely strong healing magic. The only limit of this magic is that it can’t bring back the dead. They only eat plants and never kill living things.

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.

As Heracleides is not a native to Alba, clan Dealain and the Frosts were initially reluctant to accept him in their midst. The slim White had flown all the way from a far away continent, carrying with him a staff of gnarled olive and a leather satchel filled with papyri. Although he has never disclosed the reason for leaving his homeland, he speaks of it with so much love it cannot have been voluntarily. He recounts vivid descriptions of white marble temples and olive orchards baking in the sun, and the wonders of architecture humans build within their massive, ever-expanding cities. It is usually at this point that he falls silent, a pensive frown over his deep blue eyes. Andato will then look at him tenderly, a secret understanding between the two. Whatever memories Heracleides carries with him, he also brought with him a number of ancient healing spells unknown to the Alban Whites. Soon he earned their respect, and in some cases even their love.
