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.

Dr Ward is a tad eccentric. When asked to ward an egg from sickness, most White Dragons might quickly cast an efficient spell to keep death from the egg. Dr Ward, however, takes a grander approach. Whenever he hears that an egg needs protecting, he puffs up his chest and bursts forward—even if whispered tones asked for a different White Dragon's help. Brandishing his sturdy staff, Dr Ward shouts gibberish peppered with grunts, growls, and howls as he wildly swings his staff above the egg. In his excitement, sparks often burst forth from his staff. This ritual takes Dr Ward a very long time to complete, during which onlookers of the egg flee the scene to avoid getting burned, smacked, or accidentally hexed. No one is quite sure if Dr Ward is actually casting a protective spell or if his fierce grandeur runs off those who would wish to harm the egg while his intense focus on the egg makes sure it gets cared for. No egg has died under his care thus far, so his behavior is tolerated.
