White Dragons are pacifists and specialize in extremely strong healing magic. The only limit of this magic is that it can’t bring back the dead. They only eat plants and never kill living things.

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.

Although Dealan is somewhat disappointed his eldest son is not a radiant Gold like himself, but a gentle White like Macanta, the father cannot help feeling a strong love for his sonny. Although calm Macan doesn't share his father's passion for hunting or gold treasures, they both love the Highlands they live in and the steady rhythm of seasons and wildlife. Often they will hide behind a rocky outcrop, quietly observing world and time as they go by.

The only row father and son had was when Macan met a stunning Silver dragoness on the border of their territory. Cuimira nic Shoogle belonged to the clan on the other side of this border, and between Dealan and Shoogle fierce fights occurred regarding the local lochs and hunting grounds. This prevented Macan from seeing his loved one once more. Fortunately, a long-desired peace was established due to Shooglenifty's shrewd negotiations on one hand and Macan's pleading with his father on the other, clearing the path for the two young lovers.
