Mint colored dragons are the most peaceful of all dragons; they only eat plants unless they scavenge meat from an already dead animal. They also have no ways to attack others or defend themselves. They are much smaller than other forms of dragons since they only double in size when they mature. Mint dragons are unable to use magic and cannot fly since they lack wings. Their looks have given rise to the common insult of calling dragons “large lizards.”

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.

Valued Knowledge is one of the eight original Valued dragons. She earned her name because she was always seeking as much wisdom and knowledge as she could get. Knowledge often took lessons from Ancient Granite since he is one of Taliax's wisest dragons. Her mate is the somewhat immature Microbobic.

All of the original eight Valued dragons were found at the cave entrance. They together formed an oath to be kind to all creatures, and to only kill to eat or protect themselves or loved ones. They also vowed to carry on their legacy of peace by teaching their hatchlings what has come to be known as the Code of Value. The Valued dragons tend to only mate within their species (or at least color), but this is only to help creatures remember their respective values when they see that color.
