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.

Telperin is a sweet-natured silver. She is generally cordial to the rest of the clan, but seems to keep nearly all of them at a distance. Her one close friend is Tatharwen, which perplexes many of her clan-mates. Where Telperin is kind, Tatharwen can be almost biting in her cruel and cutting remarks. None of the other clan members has ever been able to figure out why Telperin would keep them all at a length, except for one of the most pretentious members of the clan.
