Ridgewing Dragons live just below the snow level on the upper slopes of mountains. They are a friendly, playful breed and enjoy dancing in wind currents near their homes or plummeting down into valleys from great heights. Their wings, by far their most striking feature, grow in fin-like ridges along their backs. While their bodies lack markings to blend better with their surroundings, a ridgewing’s wings have bright markings in the colors of the flowers that grow in their mountain habitat. Occasionally different-colored individuals can be found, but they are rare because their striking coloring offers little protection.

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.

Fury was so named thanks to his enormous wingspan (even for Ridgewings), and the fact that could fly far faster than any other dragons in his part of the world. He is much loved with the the female dragons (not just Ridgewings), and has had many children. Even so, Fury felt incomplete, and the need for a lifetime mate became apparent. He used his legendary wings to take him around the world, searching fruitlessly for one he could truly love. He began to despair that he would never find a mate, until he met Lady of the Red Mountains. She was quite his opposite, but the two were a perfect match and have had an egg together.
