Ridgewing Dragons live just below the snow level on the upper slopes of mountains. They are a friendly, playful breed and enjoy dancing in wind currents near their homes or plummeting down into valleys from great heights. Their wings, by far their most striking feature, grow in fin-like ridges along their backs. While their bodies lack markings to blend better with their surroundings, a ridgewing’s wings have bright markings in the colors of the flowers that grow in their mountain habitat. Occasionally different-colored individuals can be found, but they are rare because their striking coloring offers little protection.

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.

Solanari is the oldest dragon in his cave. He is very playful, and can get even the grumpiest dragons to join in one of his games. As a result of his easygoing and friendly nature, all of the cave's hatchlings love him. When he's not playing with other dragons or striking up a friendly conversation, he spends his time in the sky, riding the wind without a care in the world with his mate, Shraniji. He and his mate have two daughters, Joneq and Moquirati, who will join them every now and then. Solanari is friends with literally every single dragon in the cave.
