Silver Dragons are arguably one of the most beautiful types of dragons. They live in high altitude habitats such as mountains. Male Silvers hunt and eat meat. While not as beautiful or radiant as females, silver males possess better physical attributes, such as strength.

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.

Skagrah's early days were filled with sermons and hymns to an arcane god who was believed to be able to rescue them all. But as destruction raged around him and the prayers became more and more desperate, Skagrah became aware of a horrible truth: there was no god. After recovering from the shock, he decided that he would make himself the god that Valkemare needed. But to do that, he needed to become the most powerful dragon in existence. Unfortunately, though he learned nearly everything one could possibly know about magic at the time, but was unable to execute the most basic spells. Then he heard of an ancient tome that was rumored to have incredible secrets that could make him all-powerful. When he finally got his claws on it he found it written in unintelligible code. He has spent countless years trying to decipher it; an obsession that has driven him to madness. Skagrah swears he has almost reached understanding, though he has been saying that for the better part of two centuries.
