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.

Athelia is a gorgeous but very timid dragon. She's easily embarrassed when told that she's beautiful; most dragons in her clan have come to know her modesty and often try to tease her on purpose, much to Athelia's dismay. Since she was a tiny hatchling, Athelia always had her eyes set on a certain clan member, Freare. Her gentleness tamed him, and now she finds herself as a proud parent of many children, along with Freare.
