Silver Dragons are arguably one of the most beautiful types of dragons. They live in high altitude habitats such as mountains. Silver females eat meat only when a male dragon brings it to them as part of courtship, though they are typically highly-independent. They possess an almost magical aura that lights up any place they are in, and are looked upon with awe by humans and animals alike.

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.

Luminissa is somewhat unusual for a silver dragon in that she spends much of her time deep in caves, using her glowing aura to see in the darkness. Her clan lives near a cave system full of beautiful crystal formations, which have attracted humans and dragons alike to the caves, despite the fact that they lie high up in a treacherous mountain range. Luminissa takes it upon herself to show these pilgrims the wonders of her clan's crystal caverns, and will both help the tourists to climb the mountains and then guide them through the dark caverns using her magnificent glow. She does this because she loves to share the beauty of the caverns with others, and she also loves meeting new people. Being a beautiful silver dragon, she has become something of a legend herself, and these days almost as many tourists come to see her as they do to see the crystal caverns.
