Albino Dragons are so named because their translucent, scale-less skin lacks all pigment. Instead, to help protect their bodies from the sun, they are coated in an oily secretion that blocks the sun’s harmful rays. The call of an albino dragon is similar to a barn owl--a shriek instead of a roar.

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.

The Pale King has taken up sentry on one of the paths leading into the territory. This particular path winds through one of the thicker forests, the shade of the trees providing plenty of cover for his fragile skin. Although many harmless humans seek the aid of the dragon's clan, there are those who would cause them harm. Fortunately many of these villains are put off when they encounter The Pale King, standing as still and as eerie as a statue, watching their every move. His off-white skin and disturbing stare worries them and those with bad intentions soon turn back, spreading rumours of ghosts in the woods.
