Golden Wyverns are known for their beautiful metallic scales and rumored magical abilities. Living high in the mountains, these dragons do not believe in killing for sport or pleasure. They will hunt only when hungry and defend themselves when provoked, but will avoid killing to the best of their abilities. Golden Wyverns often mingle with other dragons of similar color and take pride in their shimmering hide.

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.

Legelannon has always been the odd one out. While most dragons avoid humans, he has always been fascinated by them. He spends hours just watching them as they live their lives. He has never fit in with the other dragons, and some days, he wishes more than anything that he were human. He is amazed by their diligence, their compassion, especially towards their pets. In an effort to find a culture in which he belonged, Legelannon flew off with a large dog one day to keep as his pet. He took care of it, letting it take first pick from his kills and building a fire at night for it to sleep next to. He grew quiet attached to the dog, but the dog was homesick and missed its human desperately, so he took it back to its village. A day hasn't gone by when Legelannon doesn't think of the dog, the closest thing he ever had to a friend.
