Gold dragons are the ones most often killed by humans, who consider their scales to be extremely valuable. These golden scales grant them a high level of protection, similar to armor, and they use this to their advantage in battle.

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.

Cireethrae had spent a lot of time playing with the human children in the villages, but there was always one game she couldn't get the hang of, Cat's Cradle. Not wanting to be left out she stole several balls of string and snuck off into the forest to practise on her own.

She was heard calling for help several hours later and it took nearly as long to cut her free. Even now she won't explain how exactly she managed to tie herself her to five different trees.
